Common Name: Red Rubin Sword
Mother Pots consist of multiple, mature plant species. Each pot may include 2-4+ individual plants. Final number of individual plants may vary depending on genus and species.
***Every live plant is unique. Height, shape, and leaf coloring will vary.***
Red Rubin Swords are bold and colorful plants, perfect for background accents in any hobbyist’s aquarium. These plants have short stems with large ovoid leaves that display hardy yellow veins and leaves with a subtle wavy texture. Red Rubin sword plants can display a range of colors from red, purple, and gold to green or dark green. Red Rubin sword plants can easily grow emersed or submersed.
Red Rubin swords propagate through side shoots that grow off of their leaves. These can be removed and replanted if desired, or removed and discarded to control the spread of the plant.
Red Rubin sword plants are not picky when it comes to water parameters, but they do need a good, nutrient-rich soil in order to thrive. CO2 injection is not necessary for these plants. Moderate light is ideal for Red Rubin swords, but the plant will do fine under a range of lighting conditions. These plants are sensitive to copper and should not be kept in tanks treated with it. Amazon sword plants can get pretty huge, making them a great fit for a large tank. Their large leaves can easily restrict light to other plants if they are not pruned regularly.

"The mother plants that I ordered are super healthy and very large. I will definitely be ordering more of them in the future."
"Healthy plant, arrived on time and intact. A little smaller than others Motherpot’s that I have ordered, but that’s ok. I’ll take good care of it and it’ll grow just fine"
"Nice Mother Plant!"
"Arrived looking great, mother pots are the way to go. Seems to be getting on just fine."
"This is the first Mother Pot I have purchased and the first plant I have received that was grown submerged. What a wonderful surprise! It arrived in great condition and had 3 plants in the pot. All 3 plants have rooted and are starting to send out new growth. I will look to Mother Pots to purchase in the future. I am impressed with plants grown submerged!"
"I bought two mother pots at the same time and both were in excellent condition and look gorgeous in my large tank. Their large size was very helpful in starting the Aquascape in my new tank."
"Very nice full plants. Good quality and arrived in good health. Acclimated them in buckets for 3 days with root tabs and a little Flourish (no snails). Added them to the 180 and already seeing new leaves."
"Great color and contrast to other Buce plants in my tank!"
"Bruceplant has great customer service. I sent them images and an email minutes after unboxing my plants and prior to posting my last review. I actually had emailed them about something else, but they saw my Red Rubin and refunded it anyway, and without me asking. They do seem to genuinely care about customer satisfaction. I would like to order this plant again when it's in stock for a second go at it. The other plants that came in this order (9 mother pots of various sp.) arrived well and healthy - and pest free."
"Came along with plants that were packaged, but the Red Rubin was just floating in the box in no packaging. Arrived totally dead. After pulling the decaying leaves, I was left to find all the leaves from the center of the rosette have already been removed before being shipped. In other words, this plant is highly unlikely to grow. Not sure how to add a picture..."
