Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica" - InVitro

Bucephalandra are among the most beautiful epiphytes known in aquaristics. Characteristic of the Bucephalandra is the growth along a rizome and the leaves, which are often speckled with white dots, which, depending on the species, can be green to bright red in color and can have a wide variety of shapes.It belongs to the Aracaea genus (araceae) and naturally occurs only on the island of Borneo. Bucephalandra are therefore endemics, i.e. plants that can only be found in a small, delimited area.
 

In the aquarium, Bucephalandra can be attached to roots, wood or coconuts. They grow particularly well on porous rock such as lava, but thanks to their adhesive roots they can also cling to smooth rock such as slate or granite. You can tie or glue this epiphyte onto the hardscape or place it in crevices. Bucephalandra are very slow-growing and do very well with little light and small amounts of fertilizer.
