Perfect small nano plant
Arrived today in perfect health. I just stuck it on the rocks hopefully would grow attach itself as planned . I also got a new diffuser to help it along.

Common Name: Bucephalandra Mini Coin
Bucephalandra Mini Coin is a compact, miniature variation within the Bucephalandra family. This plant can grow both submerged and emersed. It features remarkably tiny leaves displaying an array of deep red, purple, and blue hues. Despite its small size, it's highly prized for its pronounced iridescent coloration with appropriate care and when placed under aquarium LED lighting. This variant is an excellent choice for nano planted tanks, possibly ranking as the smallest among known Bucephalandra variations in the planted aquarium hobby.
As an epiphytic plant, Bucephalandra generates new growth from its rhizome. Optimal results are achieved for Bucephalandra in low to medium lighting conditions, fostering dense growth when provided with favorable circumstances. Faster and more robust growth can be encouraged through CO2 injection, adequate water flow, and consistent tank upkeep. When planting, don't cover the stem and rhizome to prevent plant decay and deterioration. While its care is the same as other popular aquatic species like Anubias and Java Ferns, Bucephalandra is less tolerant of abrupt parameter changes.
