✂️ Care

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

💡 Planter's Tip

Tie it to driftwood together with mosses or Anubias Nana for a natural, layered hardscape effect.
