✨This bucephalandra has a subtle red hue on its new shoots, making it a delight to grow. ✨
Bucephalandra sp. Perlite red shoot is a variety characterized by its red to copper-red new shoots. Its charm lies in the subtle color change that is noticeable to those who notice, rather than a flashy red.
As the leaves mature, the color fades to a subdued green, making this a delightful process, making it a particularly recommended choice for those who want to take their time growing plants and for those who love bucephalandra.
