Bucephalandra red velvet
Bucephalandra red velvet
Bucephalandra Red Velvet Color is a small, low-growing Buce variant that has narrow, ruffled leaves of varying coloration. Due to its low profile, it's best planted in the foreground to midground. All variants of Bucephalandra are very slow-growing, with new leaves sprouting from long, thin rhizomes. It can be propagated by separating the rhizome gently and attaching it to driftwood and rocks using super glue gel or thread.
It thrives under low to moderate lighting and adapts well to various water parameters. Buce plants have rhizomes that attach and grow on solid surfaces. While it attaches exceptionally well to rocks, it can also flourish on driftwood and other substrates. When placed in the substrate, ensure only a portion of the Buce plant is under the substrate while keeping the rhizome exposed, as burying it can lead to rot.
