Bucephalandra sp. ‘Batang Kawa’ – Potted Plant
Bucephalandra sp. ‘Batang Kawa’ is a rare and highly attractive Bucephalandra variety from Borneo, known for its dark green to brown leaves with a subtle metallic sheen that shimmers under aquarium lighting. Its compact, slow-growing nature makes it perfect for nano aquariums or as an elegant accent on driftwood or rocks in larger setups. Supplied in potted form, it comes with a healthy root system, ensuring easy establishment in your tank.
Metallic Shimmer: Leaves display a subtle metallic sheen under LED lighting, adding unique visual interest.
Compact & Slow-Growing: Ideal for small aquariums, midground, or foreground accents.
Epiphytic Plant: Best attached to rocks, driftwood, or hardscape; avoid burying the rhizome.
Potted Form: Strong root system for easy planting and long-term stability.
Low-Maintenance: Thrives in low to medium light and stable water conditions.
Lighting: Low to medium lighting is ideal; higher light enhances coloration but may encourage algae.
CO₂: Not required but beneficial for faster growth and more vibrant leaves.
Water Parameters: Adaptable, with pH 6.0–7.5 and temperatures of 22–28 °C.
Growth Rate: Slow, rewarding aquascapers with long-lasting aesthetic appeal.
Propagation: By carefully dividing the rhizome.
Remove from the pot and rinse off any substrate or rockwool before planting.
Do not bury the rhizome—attach to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscape with thread, glue, or fishing line until roots secure naturally.
Place in shaded or low-flow areas to prevent algae buildup and highlight its metallic sheen.
