Want Buce color in a nano tank, without risking snails? Bucephalandra 'Red Mini' keeps small rounded leaves running olive green through reddish-bronze on a plant one to three inches tall. This is the sterile Vitro Culture® format — no pests, no algae, no pesticide residue. What You'll Receive One sealed 4-inch Vitro Culture® tissue culture bag Approximately 4 small plantlets grown in sterile nutrient gel 100% free from snails, algae, pesticides and pathogens Rinse the gel away and separate the plantlets before planting Plant Profile Common name — Red Mini Buce Scientific name — Bucephalandra sp. 'Red Mini' Origin — Borneo lineage Placement — Foreground, on wood or stone Mature height — 1–3 in Growth rate — Slow Care Difficulty — Beginner Light — Low to medium. Stronger light brings the red forward CO₂ — Not required. It deepens color and speeds growth, nothing more Water — 72–82°F · pH 6.0–7.5 Substrate — Not required. Attaches to hardscape Growth habit — Amphibious. Suits paludariums and wabi-kusa Propagation — Rhizome division Grower's Notes Never bury the rhizome. Roots may sit in substrate; the rhizome cannot. Buried, it rots — the usual way an expensive Buce is lost. Rinse the gel off completely before attaching. Residue clouds water and feeds algae in the first weeks. Attach the four plantlets separately rather than as one clump. Each establishes independently and spreads on its own. Color builds over months. Tissue culture stock arrives green and darkens as it converts to submerged growth — judge it at three months. Farm-raised, not wild-collected. All the Bucephalandra we carry is farm-grown, and much of it is raised from tissue culture rather than collected from Borneo. Prefer rooted plants? See standard Bucephalandra Red Mini.

This Vitro Culture® bag is sealed for freshness — please follow proper sterilisation and acclimation procedures upon opening. Never release aquarium plants into natural waterways.
