Bucephalandra ‘Brownie Blue’ – Potted Plant
Bucephalandra ‘Brownie Blue’ is a rare and elegant aquatic plant, prized for its oblong, wavy-edged leaves that develop a subtle blueish tint once adapted to underwater growth. Its slow-growing nature and shimmering coloration under LED lighting make it an excellent choice for nano aquariums or as a refined accent plant in larger aquascapes. Supplied in potted form, it comes with a strong root system for easier establishment.
Blue-Toned Leaves: Distinctive oblong leaves with a shimmering blueish hue once settled underwater.
Compact & Slow-Growing: Perfect for nano tanks, midground detailing, or as accents in larger layouts.
Epiphytic Nature: Best attached to rocks, driftwood, or hardscape; avoid burying the rhizome.
Low-Maintenance: Thrives in low to medium light and adapts well to a range of conditions.
Potted Form: Strong root development makes planting and establishing in the aquarium easier.
Lighting: Prefers low to medium lighting; higher light may enhance coloration but can encourage algae.
CO₂: Not required but beneficial for faster growth and richer coloration.
Water Parameters: Adaptable to most aquariums, with a pH range of 6.0–7.5 and temperatures of 22–28 °C.
Growth Rate: Slow; ideal for stable, long-term aquascapes.
Propagation: Propagates by dividing the rhizome into smaller pieces.
Remove the plant carefully from the pot and rinse off any excess rockwool or substrate.
Do not bury the rhizome—attach to hardscape using thread, glue, or fishing line until roots secure naturally.
Place in shaded areas of the aquarium to reduce algae buildup and bring out its blueish coloration.
