Ludwigia repens ‘Rubin’ – Dark Red Aquarium Plant

Ludwigia repens ‘Rubin’ is a beautiful red aquatic stem plant prized by aquascaping enthusiasts for its deep red to wine-red foliage. It is an excellent choice for adding rich colour and contrast to planted aquariums, nature aquariums, and Dutch-style aquascapes. Its striking appearance makes it a popular option for creating colourful backgrounds or accent areas in a planted tank.

Also known as Ludwigia ‘Rubin’, Ludwigia sp. “Wine Red”, and Ludwigia aff. glandulosa, this plant was introduced to the aquarium hobby by the Danish aquatic plant nursery Tropica. Although it was originally sold under the name Ludwigia repens ‘Rubin’, it is now generally considered to be closely related to Ludwigia glandulosa and possibly a hybrid.

Ludwigia ‘Rubin’ has a growth habit and leaf shape similar to Ludwigia repens. However, its stems can produce both opposite and alternate leaves at irregular intervals, making it botanically distinctive. With its intense red coloration, this aquatic plant can create an attractive focal point among green aquarium plants.

Whether you are building a colourful planted tank or enhancing an existing aquascape, Ludwigia ‘Rubin’ is a great option for adding a bold red accent to your underwater landscape.
