Bucephalandra Claudia (Farmed) IS

Common Name: Buce Claudia

Bucephalandra Claudia is a distinct variant belonging to the Bucephalandra family. Buce Claudia grows wide rounded leaves which also curl along its edges, giving it an unique appearance. Due to its size, Buce Claudia is perfect for any size aquarium. Consider using Buce Claudia as a background plant for nano scapes and a foreground plant for larger ones. 

Similar to other Buce, Bucephalandra Claudia is easy to care for, not requiring high light, CO2, or dosing of fertilizers, but this plant will benefit from them. Being able to be grown submerged or emerged allows Bucephalandra Claudia to be grown in a variety of set ups, including aquariums, terrariums, paludariums, and vivariums. The growth rate is slow, making a favorite place for algae to grow. Keeping a balanced tank and good water quality will greatly help prevent algae from growing. Placement for this aquatic plant is simple and it can be attached to hardscape material or aquarium decor using super glue or thread.
