✂️ Care
Bucephalandra Sintang is a rhizome plant that thrives best when its rhizome is not covered by substrate. Attach the plant with fishing line or superglue to hardscape materials such as dragon stone, lava stone, or spiderwood. After a few weeks, the plant will attach itself and the line can be removed.
💡 Planting tip
Create a calming atmosphere by combining Sintang with natural stones and subtle lighting. The plant fits perfectly in Iwagumi, Nature, and Dutch-style aquariums.
