BUCEPHALANDRA sp. 'ROSSO MINI' – In Vitro Epiphyte with Shimmering Reddish Leaves for Foreground Aquascapes
Bucephalandra sp. 'Rosso Mini' is a rare, compact epiphyte from Indonesia, admired for its reddish-brown shimmering foliage. Growing slowly and vertically, it naturally branches to form dense, bushy clusters ideal for foreground or midground placement in aquascapes.
As an epiphyte, it must be attached to rocks or wood, with its rhizome left above the substrate to avoid rot. Its very slow growth, low lighting needs, and minimal CO₂ requirements make it an excellent choice for low-tech aquariums, shrimp tanks, or nano setups.
This plant is grown in vitro, ensuring it’s free from pests, snails, and algae. The sterile gel medium supports fast adaptation to submerged life and is safe for sensitive aquarium fauna.
