Bucephalandra sp. blue

If you want a planted tank that looks “finished” without constant trimming, Bucephalandra sp. blue is a classic choice. This Buce variety stays compact, grows steadily, and adds a textured, premium look when placed on hardscape. Bucephalandra are naturally adapted to growing attached to rocks/wood—so you get strong results even in shaded layouts.

Key Highlights

• Placement: Epiphyte (attach to rock/wood), foreground–midground accent

• Growth: Slow, compact, detailed texture

• Light: Low to moderate (higher light can enhance visual impact)

• CO₂: Optional (helps speed + steadiness, not mandatory)

• Best use: Nano tanks, nature-style layouts, shaded hardscape zones

Planting & Attachment Tips for Bucephalandra Arrogant Blue

• Do not bury the rhizome (it can rot if covered).

• Attach using cotton thread or a tiny dot of cyanoacrylate gel to rock/wood.

• Keep gentle flow around the plant; avoid letting debris settle on leaves.

Care & Maintenance

Bucephalandra are considered hardy and beginner-friendly, but they grow slowly—so stability matters more than “high dosing.” They can tolerate low light and modest fertilization; the main enemy is algae on slow-growing leaves, so keep lighting consistent and consider algae-eaters in the tank.

Color note: “Blue” tones are often an iridescent sheen that becomes more visible under good LED lighting and clean, algae-free leaves.

What You’ll Receive (Quantity FAQ – consistent across products)

Q: How many plants will I get?
A: You will receive healthy Bucephalandra clumps. Size varies naturally, but typically you’ll get 3–5+ rhizomes with ~20–30 healthy leaves in total.

Shipping & Transition Note (important for live plants)

Minor leaf yellowing or a brief “settling” phase can happen after shipping or when moved into a new aquarium. Bucephalandra usually rebounds once attached and kept stable.
