Common Name: Red Buce
The Bucephalandra resemble Anubias very much and should be treated the same way. They usually grow more or less epiphytic in or near water. The leaves are of a very dark green or leathery red colour. Numerous tiny, white dots and sometimes a faint, metallic, blue colour will appear on submerse leaves. Size of leaf is 2-4 cm wide, 4-6 cm long and usually it will present wavy edges. A great accent plant and splash of color in any aquascape!
Bucephalandra sp. 'Red'
Remove the plant and rock wool out of the pot and remove the rock wool and rinse in water. Remove any dead or damaged leaves. Bucephalandra sp. can be planted by attaching to rock or wood with string/fishing line or super glue. They can also be planted in the substrate but the rhizome, from which leaves and roots appear, must not be covered. If it is, the whole plant will rot and die. Bucephalandra sp. 'Red' does best at lower light levels and is very easy to grow. CO2 is not required for this plant.
DO NOT RELEASE PLANTS AND LIVESTOCK INTO LOCAL WATERWAYS.
