✂️ Care
Attach Bucephalandra sordidula to wood or stone — do not plant it in the substrate. Softer water and stable water parameters best bring out the blue sheen. Add liquid plant fertilizer regularly, such as Sera Florena.
💡 Planter tip
Combine 'Blue' with other Bucephalandra varieties or Anubias on a piece of driftwood for a varied and colorful hardscape.
