Description
'Rubin' is a time-tested Echinodorus cultivar, bred by Hans Barth (Dessau, Germany), known since 1993. This to 60 cm high, undemanding plant is recommendable for large tanks.
Echinodorus 'Rubin' is a large-growing hybrid that has been in the trade since 1993.12 Its breeder, Hans Barth of Dessau, states that he selected it from a hybrid population of E. horemanii “red” and E. × barthii.13 Well-fed specimens are said to reach about 1 m, otherwise up to 60 cm; their leathery leaves have a slightly wavy margin and a very narrowly elliptical blade 3–5 cm wide and 15–35 cm long.13 It is mainly the young leaves that glow reddish brown, while older ones turn dark olive green; depending on conditions the tone extends to wine red, and the pale green veins stand out.
