Bucephalandra is an easy plant, perfect for beginners. The species can be grown submerged or emersed. Bucephalandra is very slow growing, with new leaves sprouting from long, thin rhizomes. It can be propagated by cutting the rhizome and attached to driftwood and rocks using super glue gel or thread.
Our Bucephalandra on driftwood feature randomly various different types of buce that is attached to a piece of aquarium driftwood that is pre-soaked so all you have to do is place it directly into your aquascape. Types of Bucephalandra on this aquarium decor can vary. Substitutions cannot be made.
Notes:
- Bucephalandra is an epiphytic aquarium plant so it can be attached to aquarium hardscape.
- Do not plant Bucephalandra in substrate and cover the rhizome. This will cause it to melt and rot.
- Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot. Remove the rockwool surrounding the roots and attach to hardscape. For instructions on how to properly prep “potted” aquarium plants, click here.
