Enhance your aquarium with Tropica 139C Bucephalandra Needle Leaf. Easy to grow, adds vibrant color and texture with minimal care. Perfect for hobbyists!
Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup.
Though Bucephalandras are from Asia and Anubias fom Africa, they have a lot in common, including how to grow them. Bucephalandra sp. ‘Needle leaf’ has a bit higher demands than the ‘diabolica’ and pygmaeae, but is still a very easy plant to grow. Some added CO2 and a little more light is beneficial. Immersed leaves are green, elongated and slightly waved, showing numerous tiny, white dots. Each leaf is less than 0.5 cm broad and between 1 and 2 cm long. Youngest parts of the rhizome display a nice, red colour. Growth is slow. The creeping rhizome must not be covered when planting, otherwise the plant will rot and die.
