DESCRIPTION

Bucephalandra ‘Kedagang’ – Potted Plant

Bucephalandra ‘Kedagang’ is a striking Bucephalandra variety from Borneo, prized for its long, narrow leaves with slightly wavy edges and a deep green to reddish-brown coloration. Under aquarium LED lighting, the leaves often develop a subtle metallic sheen, adding depth and elegance to any aquascape. Hardy and slow-growing, this plant is ideal for nano aquariums as well as larger tanks where it can be used as an accent on hardscape. Supplied in potted form, it comes with a well-developed root system for easier establishment.


Key Features:

  • Elegant Narrow Leaves: Long, slender leaves with wavy edges and deep coloration that may range from green to reddish-brown.

  • Subtle Metallic Sheen: Displays a beautiful iridescent shimmer under proper lighting.

  • Compact & Slow-Growing: Ideal for foreground accents, midground detailing, or use in nano aquariums.

  • Epiphytic Plant: Best attached to rocks, driftwood, or decorative hardscape elements.

  • Potted Form: Strong roots ensure easier planting and long-term growth.


Care Requirements:

  • Lighting: Thrives in low to medium lighting; higher light may bring out richer coloration but can encourage algae.

  • CO₂: Not required, though beneficial for more robust growth and enhanced leaf color.

  • Water Parameters: Adapts well to most setups, with a pH between 6.0–7.5 and temperatures of 22–28 °C.

  • Growth Rate: Slow, making it perfect for stable, long-term aquascapes.

  • Propagation: Divide the rhizome carefully to create new plants.


Planting Tips:

  • Remove from the pot and rinse off excess rockwool before placing in the aquarium.

  • Do not bury the rhizome—secure to rocks, wood, or other hardscape using thread, fishing line, or glue until roots attach naturally.

  • Best positioned in shaded or low-flow areas to prevent algae buildup and preserve its subtle sheen.
