BUCEPHALANDRA sp. 'RED SCORPIO' – Rare Epiphyte with Red Rhizome and Wavy Leaves for Artistic Aquascaping
Bucephalandra sp. 'Red Scorpio' is a rare and striking epiphytic plant from Borneo, known for its distinct red rhizome and elegantly undulating olive-green leaves. Its beauty becomes more prominent under strong lighting and proper nutrient dosing, making it ideal for refined aquascaping layouts.
The upper surface of its leaves features tiny silver dots, giving it a soft shimmer and enhancing its visual appeal in foreground or midground placements. This plant grows up to 5–8 cm and is best attached to rocks or driftwood, never buried, as its rhizome is sensitive to rot.
With a slow growth rate, low to medium light tolerance, and no strict CO₂ requirements, it's an excellent choice for nano tanks, low-tech aquariums, or planted shrimp habitats. Its rare red rhizome and aesthetic foliage make it a focal point in natural scapes.
Main features:
• Bright red rhizome for visual interest
• Olive-green leaves with silver speckles and wavy edges
• Slow-growing, compact form (5–8 cm height)
• Epiphyte – must be mounted on hardscape, not buried
• Thrives in low to medium light, CO₂ optional
• Ideal for nano aquascapes and shrimp-safe setups
• Adds texture and color to refined scaping designs
Why choose Bucephalandra sp. 'Red Scorpio':
A rare gem for aquascapers looking to enrich their layouts with subtle shimmer, unique colors, and resilient beauty. It’s perfect for collectors and aquascaping purists alike.
