Bucephalandra Red Mini T/C CUP

Bucephalandra Red Mini is a rare and highly sought-after dwarf Buce variety from the rainforests of Borneo. Known for its compact, rounded leaves that shimmer with deep red, burgundy, and violet iridescence under aquarium lighting, this miniature gem is a collector's favourite and a standout addition to any planted tank or aquascape.

This listing is for a Tissue Culture (T/C) Cup — meaning the plant is laboratory-grown in sterile, pest-free, and snail-free conditions. Tissue culture plants are an excellent choice for pristine aquariums, shrimp tanks, and setups where biosecurity matters.

Why Tissue Culture?

•  Pest, snail, and algae-free guaranteed
•  Consistent, healthy plantlets ready to establish
•  Ideal for sensitive shrimp and invertebrate tanks

Care Guide

• Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
• Lighting: Low to Medium
• CO₂: Not required (benefits growth and colour)
• Temperature: 20–28°C (68–82°F)
• pH: 6.0–7.5
• Growth Rate: Slow
• Placement: Foreground to Midground

As an epiphyte, Bucephalandra should be attached to driftwood, rocks, or hardscape — never buried in substrate. Its slow growth makes it low-maintenance and long-lasting once established.
