Bucephalandra ‘Theia’ – Potted Plant
Bucephalandra ‘Theia’ is a rare and captivating Bucephalandra variety, admired for its dark, narrow leaves with slightly rippled edges and a subtle iridescent sheen that shifts under aquarium lighting. Its compact size and slow growth make it a versatile choice for both nano tanks and larger aquascapes, where it serves as a refined accent on rocks or driftwood. Supplied in potted form, it comes with a well-developed root system for quick establishment in your aquarium.
Refined Leaf Shape: Narrow, elongated leaves with delicate rippling add elegance and fine texture.
Iridescent Glow: Subtle shimmer appears under aquarium LEDs, giving the plant a unique visual appeal.
Compact & Slow-Growing: Perfect for small aquariums or as detailed accents in larger scapes.
Epiphytic Growth: Attaches naturally to hardscape elements like rocks and wood.
Potted Form: Strong roots provide stability and easier transition into your tank.
Lighting: Prefers low to medium lighting; excessive light may encourage algae growth.
CO₂: Not required, but beneficial for richer coloration and more vigorous growth.
Water Parameters: Adapts well to a wide range, with pH between 6.0–7.5 and temperatures of 22–28 °C.
Growth Rate: Very slow, ideal for stable, long-term aquascapes.
Propagation: Easily propagated by dividing the rhizome.
Remove from the pot and rinse off excess rockwool before use.
Do not bury the rhizome—attach to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscape using thread, glue, or fishing line until roots secure naturally.
Place in shaded or low-flow areas to prevent algae buildup and highlight its subtle shimmer.
