Common Name: Bucephalandra Catherinae Red
Bucephalandra Catherinae Red is a rarer variant that's becoming more common in the aquascaping hobby. This compact, low-growing plant has narrow, wavy leaves on short stalks, showcasing a rich emerald green, deep red, and purple hues once fully adapted to submerged growth. Ideal for foreground or midground placement, it forms dense, short clusters. Bucephalandra is known for its slow growth, with new leaves emerging from thin rhizomes that can be propagated by carefully dividing the rhizome and attaching it to driftwood or rocks using super glue gel or thread.
This plant thrives in low to moderate lighting and adapts well to various water conditions. It can grow both submerged and emersed, much like Anubias. Bucephalandra's rhizomes attach securely to solid surfaces, particularly rocks, but it can also thrive on driftwood and other substrates. When planting in the substrate, ensure that the rhizome remains exposed to avoid rot, as burying it can cause damage.
