Add a touch of unique beauty to your planted aquarium with Bucephalandra sp. "White." This captivating species is highly sought after by aquascapers for its distinctive leaf shape and striking coloration, often displaying creamy white or light beige hues on its new growth and sometimes along the leaf margins.
Key Features:
- Unique Coloration: Exhibits beautiful creamy white to light beige hues, particularly on new growth.
- Compact Growth: Forms dense clusters, ideal for foreground or midground placement on hardscape.
- Adaptable: Tolerates a wide range of water parameters.
- Relatively Hardy: Once established, it is a resilient and long-lived aquarium plant.
- Attaches to Surfaces: Thrives when attached to rocks or driftwood via its rhizome.
Planting and Care:
Bucephalandra sp. "White" should be attached to hardscape using thread, super glue gel (aquarium safe), or fishing line until its roots take hold. Avoid burying the rhizome in the substrate, as this can lead to rot. Stable water parameters and good water quality are essential for its health. Its slow growth rate means it requires less frequent trimming and is generally less demanding than faster-growing stem plants.
Bring a touch of rare elegance to your aquascape with the exquisite Bucephalandra sp. "White."
Bucephalandra Sp White - GroWow Tissue Culture Cup
SPRING10
Region/Origin: Borneo (specific location often varies depending on the collected variety)
Growth Rate: Slow
Height at Maturity: Typically ranges from 2-5 cm (0.8-2 inches) in leaf height, forming a dense, compact rhizome.
Light Demand: Low to Medium. While it can tolerate higher light, lower light conditions will often intensify the unique coloration and contribute to slower, more manageable growth. Avoid intense direct light, which can promote algae growth on its slow-growing leaves.
CO2 Requirements: Low to Medium. Bucephalandra sp. "White" can thrive even without supplemental CO2, though its growth and overall health can benefit from a consistent, moderate CO2 injection.
