Ludwigia Repens 'Rubin'
An easy growing plant will develop dark reddish leaves when provided with proper conditions. Will grow quickly and provide a great colour contrast to the green shades in the aquarium.
A small group, positioned in the middle ground, with some green plants as a backdrop, will provide the onlooker with a beautiful focal point.
Can be used with or without CO2 injection into the water, however generating such rich, red tones requires strong light and a good supply of CO2.
