🌿 Red Rubin Sword – Vivid, Rooted Foliage for Low-Tech Tanks

Red Rubin Sword (Echinodorus ‘Rubin’) brings rich red, maroon, and bronze tones to your natural aquarium — without the need for CO₂, chemical fertilizers, or bottled additives. Its long, narrow leaves develop deep color under moderate light and grow tall enough to make a stunning midground or background feature in Father Fish–style dirted tanks.

This rooted sword pulls nutrients from the soil below and thrives in deep, capped substrates. It's a favorite among aquascapers for its striking color and dependable growth in low-tech systems.

✅ Naturally Rooted – Thrives in rich soil without any root tabs
✅ Low-Tech Compatible – No CO₂ or liquid dosing needed
