Tropica 139 Tissue Culture - Bucephalandra pygmaea Bukit Kelam

Bucephalandra pygmaea 'Bukit Kelam'

Tropica 139 Tissue Culture - Bucephalandra pygmaea Bukit Kelam is used as an easy, slow-growing aquatic plant for aquariums that thrives in lower light levels and requires careful planting to avoid rotting.

In nature, Bucephalandra usually grows on rocks or wood in rivers and streams - much like Anubias, which they resemble regarding use and care in the aquarium.

Bucephalandra 'Bukit Kalem' is an easy, slow-growing plant that prefers lower light levels. A nice, dense appearance is ensured by the willingness to branch, even without trimming.

The green leaves are 2 cm wide and 5 cm long with wavy edges. Tiny white spots will appear on immersed leaves.

The creeping stem, rhizome, must not be covered when planting. This will cause the plant to rot and die.
