Bucephalandra Lamandau Purple Mini is a small-sized variation in the Bucephalandra family. At first glance, Buce Lamandau Purple Mini has extremely small leaves that feature a rainbow of hues. Don’t be fooled by its miniature form, it is highly sought after for it’s exaggerated iridescent coloration when given proper care and placed under aquarium LED lighting. This is the perfect Bucephalandra for any nano planted aquarium tank. It is perhaps the smallest of the known Bucephalandra variants in the planted aquarium hobby. Bucephalandra is an epiphytic plant and will sprout new growth from its rhizome.
Bucephalandra does best in low to medium lighting and will grow nice and dense if favorable conditions are provided. CO2 injection along with a good flow and regular tank maintenance will promote quicker, more robust growth. The stem and rhizome should not be covered when planting as this will cause the plant to rot and wither. Care can be comparable to other popular aquatic plant species such as Anubias and Java Ferns, but Bucephalandra will not tolerate sudden changes well.
