Characteristics of Persicaria Praetermissa "Ruby"
This plant was first introduced as Polygonum sp. 'Ruby' and later identified as Persicaria praetermissa.
Persicaria praetermissa is not too difficult, however medium to strong lighting and a good supply of nutrients and CO2 are beneficial. It grows quite fast and is easily propagated by cuttings.
With its unusual horizontal growth habit, striking leaf shape, and pleasing, rather dark colors, this knot-knot species is best placed as an accent plant in the middle, in contrast to light green, fine-textured plants.
