Echinodorus Rubin is similar to other Echinodorus variations in its easiness to keep. This variation can provide you with a variety of coloration including (red, purple, gold, green, and dark green) depending on the water parameters. More commonly they will display yellow veins and have a non smooth texture to their leaves.
This species of plant thrives best using a nutrient rich soil with additional fertilization (our preference is the Brightwell line of soil which can be found by clicking here). If not provided with enough nutrients, it can decrease the ability of this plant to spread. The use of CO2 in the aquarium will increase the plants ability to grow but is not necessary.
