Tropica Bucephalandra "Kedagang" - Pot

Bucephalandra belong to the Aracaea genus. This plant occurs naturally only on the island of Borneo. They are endemics, i.e. plants that can only be found in a small, delimited area. Bucephalandra can be attached to roots, wood or coconuts. However, according to experience, they grow best on rock. Lava rock, granite or even slabs of slate can be used for this purpose, because they also adhere well to smooth rock. They do very well with little light and only small amounts of fertilizer.

Kedagang is a very beautiful Bucephalandra variety, which is characterized by long, narrow and dark green leaves with white dots. These can be 1-2 cm wide and up to 6 cm long.
The root stalk is red, resembling the red Bucephalandra variants. A blue-metallic hue may be visible on submerged leaves, depending on the light.
