BUCEPHALANDRA RED – Red Epiphytic Plant for Freshwater Aquariums
Bucephalandra Red is a stunning epiphytic plant with deep leather-red leaves, ideal for adding a subtle splash of color to your freshwater aquarium. Similar to Anubias in care and growth, it thrives best in low to moderate light, where its submerged leaves develop fine white dots and sometimes a faint metallic blue shimmer.
The plant should be attached to wood or rocks, as burying the rhizome will cause it to rot. Its slow growth and compact form make it perfect for nano tanks or shaded aquascapes, adding elegance without maintenance demands.
