Bucephalandra Green Wavy on Driftwood

Common Name: Bucephalandra Green Wavy on Driftwood Bucephalandra Green Wavy is considered an easier, entry-level Bucephalandra variant. It features bright green ruffled leaves and develops a dense, bushy appearance due to its tendency to branch without trimming. It's highly prized for its pronounced iridescent coloration with appropriate care and when placed under aquarium LED lighting. For this particular product, a portion of Green Wavy has already been attached and grown onto driftwood, so all you have to do is place it directly into your aquarium. As an epiphytic plant, Bucephalandra generates new growth from its rhizome. It is a slow-grower, and can be grown submerged or emersed. Optimal results are achieved for Bucephalandra in low to medium lighting conditions, fostering dense growth when provided with proper water conditions. CO2 injection, adequate water flow, and consistent tank upkeep can result in faster and more robust plant growth. When planting, don't cover the stem and rhizome to prevent plant decay and deterioration. While its care is the same as other popular aquatic species like Anubias and Java Ferns, Bucephalandra is less tolerant of abrupt parameter changes. Key Features & Important Notes Bucephalandra is an epiphytic aquarium plant so it can be attached to aquarium hardscape. Do not plant Bucephalandra in substrate and cover the rhizome. This will cause it to melt and rot. Bucephalandra’s final size, coloration and growth rate are dependent upon the condition of the aquarium. Photos are a representation of what you will receive and may vary. Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant. CO2 injection will yield better growth. Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives. Care & Additional Information Listed information should be treated as general guidelines only.
