Some updates:
Thanks for everyone sharing experience and opinion on this topic. Just in case someone comes across this post in the future, here is a summary of what people are sharing so far:
1. Bottling straight off the fermenter (if your fermenter has a spigot) and priming each bottle individually
2. Reducing the headspace in each bottle
3. Don't cold crash, or if you have to, use something like a Cold Crash Guardian
4. Collecting CO2 during fermentation so you can use them during bottling (using balloon or cold crash guardian)
5. Purging O2 out of the bottle headspace helped significantly in preserving colour and hop character in my bottle conditioned IPA. In contrast, an additional purge of the bottle prior to filling did not bring any noticeable benefits. Check out this post to dig further
6. Thanks to @BrewnWKopperKat for summing up some additional tips for bottling. Check out these links here.
Thanks again everyone and have a good one!

Hi guys, my IPA is getting oxidized during bottle conditioning. I didn't cold crash, just let the beer sit in room temp.
My bottling process is like transferring beer from fermenter to bottling bucket (filled with priming sugar), by using easy syphon, then bottle.
Currently, my home doesn't have enough space for kegging and CO2 tanks. So I'm here to seek other practical way to avoid oxidation as mush as possible under my current setup.
