Echinodorus
rubin, also known as Red Rubin, is an amphibious plant that has long
red, brown and green leaves in its submerged state. When emerged from
the water, the leaves will turn bright green in color. This is a great
background plant that will add a variety of color and texture to your
freshwater planted aquarium.
The Red Rubin is a relatively easy
plant to maintain, but grows rather large in the aquarium. Use this
plant as a background in the smaller aquarium, and as a mid-ground focal
point in the larger aquarium. Do not allow the leaves of this plant to
shade neighboring plants. It requires a moderate level of light of 2 to 3
watts per gallon provided by full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs.
Reproduction
within this species is by adventitious plants, side shoots, and rhizome
division. Simply allow the plant to reproduce by one of the above
methods, and when the new plant forms its own leaves, separate and
re-plant in another location of the aquarium. The Red Rubin is sensitive
to copper, and this type of medication should not be added to the
aquarium where it is contained.
The Red Rubin benefits from regular additions of CO2, iron rich fertilizers, and trace elements.
