✂️ Care
Tie the plant to wood or stone with a string or thread — Bucephalandra will attach itself after a few weeks. Avoid fully burying the rhizome in the substrate. Good water flow prevents algae growth on the slow-growing leaves. The reddish-brown color is best expressed with sufficient light.
💡 Planter's tip
Combine with green plants like Anubias nana or moss species for a nice color contrast. 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 do I get the reddest color?
Sufficient light enhances the reddish-brown hue of the leaves. With low light, the plant will remain greener.
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.
