✂️ Care

Tie the plant with string or thread to wood or stone — Bucephalandra will attach itself after a few weeks. Avoid fully burying the rhizome in the substrate. Good water flow prevents algae growth on the slow-growing leaves.

💡 Planter's tip

Thanks to its broad leaves, it makes a good contrast plant next to fine-leaved species such as Rotala or mosses. Ideal for wabi-kusa and nano-aquariums.

My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
