Bucephalandra ‘Red’: Add Vibrant Color to Your Aquascape!

Introduce a splash of rich, earthy reds and subtle shimmer to your aquarium with the adaptable and eye-catching Bucephalandra sp. ‘Red’. A truly rewarding slow-grower for any planted tank.

Overview

Bucephalandra sp. ‘Red’ is a striking epiphytic aquatic plant, boasting firm leaves that transition from deep green to captivating reddish-brown hues, particularly on younger growth. Submerged leaves often reveal a beautiful blue-green iridescence and tiny silvery spots, adding unique texture and visual interest to your hardscape. This slow-growing plant develops a creeping rhizome and anchors itself firmly to rocks or driftwood, creating a natural, established look in your underwater landscape.

Care Level

Considered easy to comfortable, Bucephalandra sp. ‘Red’ is an excellent choice for aquarists of all experience levels, resembling the care of Anubias species. It thrives under low to medium lighting but flourishes with stable water parameters and consistent care. Avoid sudden environmental changes to ensure this healthy aquarium plant remains vibrant and melt-free.

Tank Essentials

This versatile plant is suitable for aquariums of nearly any size, with a 10-gallon (approximately 38L) tank or larger being ideal for beginners. Attach your Bucephalandra ‘Red’ securely to rocks or driftwood; crucially, do not bury the rhizome in substrate, as this can cause rot. Maintain water parameters within a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and temperatures between 20-28°C.

Diet

Bucephalandra sp. ‘Red’ primarily absorbs nutrients from the water column. Supplement its growth with a high-quality liquid fertilizer. While not strictly essential, CO2 injection can significantly enhance growth rate and bring out its most vibrant red coloration.
