When grown submerged, its narrow, slightly wavy leaves display deep green to reddish hues with hints of cherry red, often accented by a soft metallic shimmer under aquarium lighting. This combination of color and texture makes it a standout choice for detailed, high-end aquascapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"473\" data-end=\"823\"\u003eLike other Bucephalandra, this plant grows from a creeping rhizome and should be attached to hardscape such as driftwood or rocks rather than planted in the substrate. It has a naturally slow growth rate but forms compact, attractive clumps over time. Once established, it becomes a long-lasting feature that adds depth and character to the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"1228\"\u003eBucephalandra ‘Nangataman Red Cherry’ prefers stable, established tank conditions. While it can survive in lower-tech setups, it truly thrives with moderate lighting, consistent nutrients, and CO₂ supplementation, which enhances both growth and coloration. It is sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters and may experience “melting” when first introduced, but typically recovers as it acclimates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1253\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1251\"\u003eCare Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1254\" data-end=\"1685\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"5lfl8j\" data-start=\"1254\" data-end=\"1323\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1270\"\u003eTank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Any (best appreciated in nano to medium aquariums)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"10mokmc\" data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1387\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1339\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to medium (moderate light enhances color)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"6e3swr\" data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1461\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1398\"\u003eCO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required, but recommended for best growth and coloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ru21a7\" data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1500\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1480\"\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72–82°F (22–28°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1pwp3r1\" data-start=\"1501\" data-end=\"1520\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1510\"\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1n0r60e\" data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1592\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1523\" data-end=\"1537\"\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attach to wood, rock, or décor (do not bury rhizome)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"106srk6\" data-start=\"1593\" data-end=\"1618\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1611\"\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"het09c\" data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1647\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1636\"\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"jhkenn\" data-start=\"1648\" data-end=\"1685\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1650\" data-end=\"1666\"\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rhizome division\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1834\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1699\"\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e A premium Bucephalandra with rich red tones and subtle shimmer—perfect for adding refined color and texture to established aquascapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48133094572254,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo_c76bf674-ca83-49a4-aa92-26174c534b16.png?v=1741201181","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/bucephalandra-sp-nangataman-red-cherry","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
