Ludwigia repens ‘Rubin’ is a hardy and easy-to-care-for plant, making it an excellent choice for aquariums of all skill levels. While it doesn't require specific conditions, insufficient light may cause the lower leaves to fall off. To achieve its signature deep red color, this plant thrives under bright lighting (0.5 watts per liter or more) and benefits from CO2 injection. Propagating Ludwigia 'Rubin' is simple—regular lateral shoots or top cuttings can be replanted to encourage new growth.
