Ready to Grow - Bucephalandra ‘Green Wavy’ TC is available for pre-order – please confirm stock before ordering!
The Bucephalandra ‘Green Wavy’ is a captivating, slow-growing epiphytic plant native to Borneo, known for its elegant, bright green ruffled leaves. It’s a versatile and hardy plant that thrives when attached to rocks or driftwood, making it a favorite among aquascapers for natural, jungle-like layouts.
This tissue culture (in-vitro) version is cultivated under sterile, laboratory conditions—ensuring a healthy, pest-free plant free from algae, snails, or pathogens. Ideal for those who want a pristine and clean start for their aquascape.
Distinctive Leaf Shape: Bright green, wavy leaves with a slightly glossy texture that shimmer under aquarium lighting.
Pest-Free & Clean: Tissue-cultured for guaranteed purity—no snails, algae, or contaminants.
Low Maintenance: Thrives in low to moderate light and adapts well to a range of aquarium conditions.
Epiphytic Nature: Grows attached to hardscape elements like rocks or driftwood—no need to bury the roots or rhizome.
Lighting: Prefers low to medium lighting; excessive light can promote algae on leaves.
CO₂: Not essential, but CO₂ supplementation enhances coloration and growth rate.
Water Parameters: Stable, clean water with a pH between 6.0–7.5 and temperature of 22–28°C promotes best growth. Avoid drastic parameter changes.
Growth Rate: Slow; produces new leaves gradually from the rhizome.
Preparation: Rinse thoroughly to remove all tissue culture gel before adding to the aquarium.
Placement: Attach the plant to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape using aquarium-safe glue or thread.
Avoid Burying: Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate, as it may rot.
Propagation: Cut and reattach healthy rhizome sections once established for new growth.
Bucephalandra ‘Green Wavy’ adds a refined, natural touch to any aquascape with its delicate rippled leaves and vibrant coloration. Its resilience, slow growth, and compact size make it an excellent choice for both beginner and advanced hobbyists looking to elevate their aquarium design with minimal maintenance.
