✂️ Care
Tie Bucephalandra diabolica to wood or stone — do not plant in the substrate. The plant grows slowly but is very robust. Stable water parameters and softer water promote the most beautiful color development. Add liquid plant fertilizer regularly, such as Sera Florena.
💡 Planter Tip
Combine 'Kedagang' with other Bucephalandra varieties or Anubias on a piece of driftwood for a varied hardscape.
