🔴 Bucephalandra Red Mini – Compact Red-Leaved Buce

Vitro Culture® | Small 1oz Cup | Ideal for Nano Aquascapes

Bucephalandra Red Mini is a charming, compact variety of Bucephalandra prized for its deep red to reddish-brown foliage, especially when grown under strong lighting. Its small, rounded leaves and slow-growing nature make it a popular choice for nano tanks, Iwagumi layouts, and detail-driven aquascapes.

This species thrives when attached to driftwood or rocks, where it develops lush clusters of color-rich leaves that contrast beautifully against green plants and hardscape. With its manageable size and robust rhizome structure, Bucephalandra Red Mini is both decorative and easy to place—even in the tightest corners of a scape.
