Bucephalandra Attached to Lava Rock

Bucephalandra Attached to Lava Rock: Farmed Bucephalandra supplied on lava rock for low-light freshwater aquascapes.

Bucephalandra plants have been very popular plant in the hobby recently because of their iridescent leaves, their leaves sparkle in the ideal water conditions! They are also one of the few plants that flower! The Bucephandra we sell are all farmed locally in the USA and are not harvested from the wild. CO2 is not required but recommended as they have a higher chance of flowering with some CO2 injection. They are easy to care for and can tolerate a wide-variety of water conditions. They do not require high light and can be easily attached to any hardscape which we have here. Simply add them to your aquarium and enjoy!

Keep the rhizome above the substrate. For attached plants, inspect the wood or rock and choose a stable position that suits your aquarium's inhabitants.

Match temperature and lighting to the plant and your livestock. This listing is part of our general freshwater plant range; browse our axolotl plant selection for more focused options.
