Features & Aesthetics

Appearance: Dark and elegant leaves that, under good lighting, offer shades ranging from bluish-green to deep purple. It is a slow-growing plant that maintains its compact shape over time.

Rarity: Like all Bucephalandras, it is a prized epiphytic plant known for its slow growth and great hardiness, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to your aquarium.

Installation & Care Tips

Placement: Never bury the rhizome in the substrate (this could cause it to rot). Simply attach the plant to a stone or root using fishing line or special aquatic plant glue. Its roots will naturally attach to the support over time.

Ideal Conditions: Appreciates moderate light and circulated water. While it can thrive in a "low-tech" aquarium, nutrient supplementation (and possibly CO_2) will enhance the characteristic violet coloration of this variety.

Positioning : Ideal for the foreground or midground, it creates magnificent contrasts among mosses or other larger-leaved plants.

Note: Bucephalandras are slow-growing plants. Once established, they require very little maintenance and will remain a centerpiece of your aquarium for a long time.
