​Elevate your aquascape with the striking and highly sought-after Bucephalandra sp. "Red Ruby". Hailing from the swift-flowing streams of Borneo, this premium epiphyte brings a rich burst of deep ruby-red, bronze, and dark undertones to your freshwater setup. Perfect for nano tanks, dutch layouts, or detailed natural biotopes, "Red Ruby" serves as a breathtaking midground accent or a vivid focal point on your hardscape.

​Key Features & Attributes:
​Stunning Coloration: Displays deep ruby to wine-red foliage that shimmers with subtle metallic sheens and iridescent hues under aquarium LED or RGB lighting.
​True Epiphyte Nature: Features a hardy creeping rhizome that thrives when attached directly to driftwood, lava rock, or other porous hardscape.
​Low Maintenance & Slow Growth: A hardy, slow-growing plant that requires minimal pruning, making it exceptionally manageable for both beginners and veteran aquascapers.

​Adaptable Cultivation: Can be grown fully submerged in aquariums or emersed in high-humidity terrariums, paludariums, and Wabi-Kusa setups.

​Care Guidelines:
​Care Level: Easy to Moderate
​Lighting: Low to Medium; moderate-to-high lighting intensity helps push out and intensify richer red leaf tones.

​CO2 Injection: Optional, though beneficial for accelerating growth speed and maximizing vibrant coloration.

​Water Parameters: Temperature: 22°C to 28°C (72°F to 82°F); adaptable to a wide range of general water chemistry.

​Planting Tip: Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate, as covering it can cause the plant to rot. Secure it to your hardscape using thread, fishing line, or aquarium-safe glue.
