Bucephalandra sp. 'Kedagang Mini Round'

Introduction:

Bucephalandra sp. 'Kedagang Mini Round' is a rare and attractive aquatic plant, prized for its compact size and distinctive rounded leaves. Native to the streams and riverbanks of Borneo, this slow-growing species features small, oval-shaped leaves with a deep green to reddish-brown coloration, often displaying a subtle iridescence under proper lighting. Its dense growth pattern and rhizomatous nature make it an excellent choice for nano aquariums, midground placement, or attaching to driftwood and rocks in intricate aquascapes.

Care Requirements:

• Water Parameters: Best kept in temperatures of 22-28°C, with a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and soft to moderately hard water.
• Nutrient Requirements: Benefits from liquid fertilizers rich in micronutrients and occasional root tabs. CO₂ injection enhances coloration and overall growth but is not mandatory.
• Tank Setup: Thrives when attached to hardscape materials such as driftwood or rocks. Avoid burying the rhizome to prevent rot. Moderate lighting enhances its rich coloration, while gentle water flow supports healthy growth and reduces algae buildup.

Care Tips:

To maintain optimal health, ensure stable water parameters and avoid sudden fluctuations. Due to its slow growth rate, it is prone to algae, so keeping a balanced lighting schedule and good water circulation is essential. Trim decaying leaves as needed and avoid excessive handling of the rhizome to encourage steady, healthy development.

Bucephalandra sp. 'Kedagang Mini Round' is a fantastic addition to any planted aquarium, offering unique texture and color variations. Its resilience, compact size, and ability to adapt to different aquascaping styles make it an appealing choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists.
