The potted Red Bucephalandra varieties share a striking resemblance with Anubias and should be cared for in a similar manner. They typically thrive as epiphytes near or in water.

Bucephalandra sp. 'Red' thrives in low light conditions and requires minimal maintenance. The leaves are a rich dark green or deep red, with small white dots and a subtle, metallic blue sheen on the submerged ones. Each leaf is 2-4 cm wide and 4-6 cm long, with wavy edges. When planting, make sure you tie it to wood or rock and to leave the creeping rhizome uncovered to prevent rot and ensure the plant's survival.
