Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf' is a rare and decorative species with thin, needle-like leaves, one of the smallest varieties among green Bucephalandra. It grows vertically and can naturally branch out, creating a bushy effect. As an epiphyte, it should be anchored to wood or rocks, avoiding planting in the substrate. Its slow growth and low light/CO2 requirements make it perfect for low-tech aquariums.
Planting Instructions
- Remove the plant from the cup and rinse off the gel under running water.
- Divide into small tufts of 1-2 cm.
- Attach to rocks or driftwood using fishing line or aquarium-safe glue, ensuring the rhizome remains uncovered.
