Introduction:

Bucephalandra brownie 'Ghost' is a rare and captivating variety of Bucephalandra, sought after for its dark, iridescent leaves that can exhibit shades of deep green, bluish-purple, or even silvery hues under aquarium lighting. Native to Borneo, Bucephalandras are rheophytic plants that naturally cling to rocks and driftwood in fast-moving streams. This variety offers a mysterious, elegant accent to aquascapes and is especially popular in detailed hardscape layouts. Supplied in tissue culture form, this Ready to Grow version is sterile, pest-free, and algae-free—ideal for pristine aquascaping.

  Temperature: 22–28 °C
  pH Range: 5.5–7.5

• Nutrient Requirements:
  Low demand. Grows slowly and thrives with low to moderate lighting. Benefits from CO₂ and occasional micronutrient fertilization, particularly to enhance coloration and reduce melting.

• Tank Setup:

Rinse off tissue culture gel before placing. Avoid burying the rhizome in substrate. Trim dead leaves as needed and allow time for gradual acclimation. Slow-growing but very stable once established.
