Echinodorus 'Rubin' is the result of an F2 hybridisation between Echinodorus barthii and Echinodorus horemanii 'Rot'. The impressive beauty of Echinodorus X 'Rubin' derives from its strongly red-brown leaves with their yellow-green veins. The leaves are also slightly transparent, which lends the colouration additional lustre. The plant is truly worthy of the name 'Rubin' (ruby). High light intensity enhances the red colour.
