✂️ 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. Good water circulation prevents algae growth on the slow-growing leaves.

💡 Planter's tip

The coarse structure makes Godzilla an interesting contrast plant alongside fine-leaved species such as Rotala or mosses. Ideal for wabi-kusa and nano aquariums.

❓ Frequently asked questions

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

How fast does Bucephalandra Godzilla grow?
Very slowly — this is normal for the species. Patience is key here.

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.
