Description
This attractive Bucephalandra form is new in the tissue culture plants range of Aquaflora. Bucephalandra sp. "Blue Green", not yet determined to species, is a medium-sized form with broadly elliptic, wavy leaves. These display a blue-green shine under water. All Bucephalandra species are endemic on the island of Borneo, occurring on rock along streams, adapted to flooding with strong water current.
In general, Bucephalandra species grow on rock or wood, attached by their roots. They can also be fastened to the ground as long as the rhizome is not buried, otherwise it may rot. Bucephalandras do best with medium lighting, regular CO2 and nutrient supply via the water column and good water current. The propagation is easily done by cuttings of the shoots.
This quite broad-leaved Bucephalandra is highly recommended for the hardscape where it draws attention by its blue-green gleaming leaves.
