✂️ Care

Tie the plant to wood or stone with a string or thread — Bucephalandra will attach itself after a few weeks. Avoid completely burying the rhizome in the substrate. Due to its extremely slow growth, patience is essential with this variety.

💡 Planter's Tip

Combine with green plants such as Anubias nana or moss species for a beautiful color contrast. Ideal for wabi-kuba and nano aquariums.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

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

Why does Biblis Red grow so slowly?
This is one of the slowest-growing Bucephalandra varieties in our range. Patience is truly key here — the result is a unique, delicate plant.
