Thanks to its extremely compact growth, Green Velvet is ideal for small decorative pieces and wabi-kusa. Combine with moss types for a natural, layered effect.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the 1x, 3x, and 5x variant?
This is simply the number of pots you receive — useful if you want to cover multiple pieces of hardscape or create a larger carpet effect.

Do I need to plant this plant in the substrate?
No, Bucephalandra is an epiphyte and grows best when attached to wood or stone, not in the substrate.

My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, this is transport stress and almost always temporary. Give the plant 1–2 weeks to acclimatize. For persistent problems: contact us.

Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly.
