✂️ Care
Tie Bucephalandra pygmaea onto a small piece of wood or stone — do not plant in the substrate. Softer water and stable water parameters promote the most beautiful color development. Add liquid plant fertilizer regularly, such as Sera Florena.
💡 Planter tip
Ideal as a detail plant in a nano aquarium or as an accent plant on a small piece of lava or driftwood next to larger epiphytes.
