Plants are pest free! Some plants we sell are grown emersed which means out of water when they are stuck in aquariums, they may experience some melting (Leaves Dying) this does not mean they are dead as typically the plants will bounce back.
Red Rubin Sword (Echinodorus) is a striking and popular red freshwater aquarium plant known for its deep red, burgundy, and dark green foliage. This beautiful sword plant is an excellent choice for adding bold color, height, and visual interest to planted aquariums, community tanks, large aquariums, and natural aquascapes.
Red Rubin Sword is a great centerpiece plant for aquarists looking to add rich red coloration to their freshwater aquarium. As the plant matures, it can develop a large rosette of broad leaves that creates a dramatic focal point while providing a lush, natural appearance.
Red Rubin Sword is best suited for the midground or background of a freshwater aquarium, especially in medium to large tanks where it has room to spread. Its broad burgundy-red leaves create beautiful contrast against green aquatic plants and natural hardscape such as driftwood and aquarium rocks.
As an Echinodorus sword plant, Red Rubin develops an extensive root system and benefits greatly from a nutrient-rich aquarium substrate. Root tabs or other aquarium-safe substrate fertilizers can provide additional nutrients to support healthy root development and strong leaf growth.
When planting, place the roots firmly into the aquarium substrate while keeping the crown of the plant above the substrate. Avoid burying the crown, as this can cause rot and interfere with healthy growth.

Red Rubin Sword can become a substantial plant as it matures, so provide enough space for its leaves to spread. Remove older or damaged leaves at the base of the plant as needed to maintain a clean appearance and encourage healthy new growth.
Adequate lighting and nutrients can help the plant maintain its attractive red and burgundy coloration. While CO₂ is not essential, supplementation can encourage faster growth and stronger overall development.
Red Rubin Sword is an excellent choice for aquarists looking for a hardy, colorful, and relatively easy-care red aquarium plant. Its broad burgundy foliage can create a dramatic focal point and provide a striking contrast against green aquarium plants.
Its easy-care nature makes it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Once established, Red Rubin Sword can become a long-lasting centerpiece that adds substantial foliage and color to a planted aquarium.
