Ludwigia repens ‘rubin’ (Ruby Ludwigia)

Ludwigia repens ‘rubin’  
 
A spectacular variety of Ludwigia also know as "Ludwigia Wine Red" and "Ruby Ludwigia" - this fairly new plant takes on a magnificent red color underwater. It is also a fast grower and can quickly fill up a background if you allow it to and provide it with the best conditions. It is also suitable for other parts of the aquarium with the appropriate pruning and, like all Ludwigias, can be "trained" into the desired shapes and sizes. It is an easy plant and requires little. CO2 will increase the already fast growth rate but is not required. One of the easiest red colored plants there is and suitable for a low tech setup.
