DESCRIPTION

Introduction:

Bucephalandra sp. 'Brownie Kapuas' is a rare and highly sought-after aquatic plant known for its striking appearance and slow-growing nature. Native to the fast-flowing rivers of Borneo, this species thrives in submerged or semi-emersed conditions. Its small, wavy-edged leaves display deep green to brownish hues with a subtle iridescence that can shift to purple or blue under optimal lighting. The plant’s compact size and rhizomatous growth make it a perfect choice for aquascaping, especially in nano tanks or as a midground accent in larger setups.

Care Requirements:

  • Water Parameters: Prefers temperatures between 22-28°C, with a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and soft to moderately hard water.
  • Nutrient Requirements: While adaptable, Bucephalandra benefits from nutrient-rich substrates and regular fertilization with liquid micronutrients. CO₂ supplementation enhances growth and coloration but is not mandatory.
  • Tank Setup: Best suited for attachment to rocks or driftwood, as burying its rhizome can cause rot. Moderate to high lighting brings out its best colors, and gentle water flow mimics its natural habitat, preventing algae buildup.

Care Tips:

To maintain its health and vibrant colors, ensure stable water parameters and avoid drastic changes. Bucephalandra grows slowly, making it prone to algae, so a clean tank and balanced lighting are essential. When trimming, avoid cutting the rhizome too aggressively to promote healthy regrowth.

A prized addition for aquascaping enthusiasts, Bucephalandra sp. 'Brownie Kapuas' stands out with its unique texture, coloration, and adaptability. Whether used as a focal point or to complement hardscape elements, this plant adds an exotic touch to any aquarium.
