✨A red accent in the center. A modest yet striking bucepha.
✨Bucephalandra sp. Red Central is a type of plant that sometimes has a reddish nuance in the center of the leaf or near new shoots. It's not flashy with an entire leaf covered in red, but the "red core" of the predominantly green leaves creates a subtle contrast. This
balanced bucepha is easy to use when you want to add color without disrupting the atmosphere of your layout.
