Bucephalandra 'Red Center' is a striking rhizome plant prized by aquascapers for its distinctive deep red coloration in the leaf centers, contrasting beautifully with darker green margins. This slow-growing stem plant thrives in moderate to high lighting conditions and benefits from nutrient-rich substrates and CO2 supplementation for optimal color development. Its compact, bushy growth habit makes it ideal for midground placement in planted aquariums. Bucephalandra 'Red Center' prefers temperatures between 72-82°F and slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. Attach to hardscape using fishing line or plant weights rather than burying the rhizome, which can lead to rot. A versatile choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists seeking dramatic visual impact. Show more
