Bucephalandra Tissue Culture [Multiple Plants]

Description:

Bucephalandra species are prized for their unique leaf textures, colors, and growth patterns, making them a favorite among aquascaping enthusiasts. Native to Borneo, these hardy plants thrive both emersed and submerged, and their resilience is often compared to that of Anubias. Perfect for creating a lush, natural look in freshwater aquariums, Bucephalandra grows best when attached to rocks, driftwood, or other hard surfaces, as planting directly in substrate can cause rhizome rot.

This tissue-cultured (in-vitro) selection guarantees a pest-free, algae-free, and contaminant-free specimen—ideal for aquarists who value purity and plant health.

Advantages of Tissue Culture:

Tissue-cultured plants are grown in sterile environments, ensuring they arrive free of snails, algae, and harmful pathogens. Before planting, simply remove the gel by rinsing or gently soaking the plant in clean water.

Aquascaping Tip:

Bucephalandra thrives in low-light setups and pairs beautifully with mosses and Anubias. Position it in shaded areas to prevent algae buildup and enjoy its slow, elegant growth over hardscape features.
