Tropica 1-2-Grow Bucephalandra needle leaf

Although Bucephalandras originate from Asia and Anubias from Africa, they have a lot in common, including the way they are grown.

Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle leaf' has slightly higher requirements than 'diabolica' and pygmaeae, but remains a very easy plant to grow. A little added CO2 and a little more light are beneficial. The submerged leaves are green, elongated and slightly wavy, with numerous small white dots. Each leaf is less than 0.5 cm wide and between 1 and 2 cm long. The youngest parts of the rhizome have a beautiful red color. Growth is slow.

The creeping rhizome should not be covered when planting, otherwise the plant will rot and die.
