DESCRIPTION

Introduction:

Bucephalandra micrantha 'Needle Leaf', commonly known as Needle Leaf Bucephalandra, is a captivating variety of Bucephalandra, known for its extremely narrow, needle-like leaves and delicate appearance. Native to the shaded riverbanks of Borneo, this slow-growing epiphyte thrives in aquariums as an ornamental accent plant. Its slender, dark green leaves often display a subtle iridescence under aquarium lighting, sometimes showing hints of blue or purple. Despite its fine appearance, 'Needle Leaf' is hardy and well-suited for nano tanks, aquascaping details, and hardscape embellishment. The in vitro cultivation guarantees a clean, algae- and pest-free start for aquarists.

Care Requirements:

  • Water Parameters:

    • Temperature: 20–28°C

    • pH Range: 6.0–7.5

    • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water (2–12°dGH)

  • Nutrient Requirements:
    Bucephalandra micrantha 'Needle Leaf' benefits from regular liquid fertilization, particularly micronutrients. CO₂ supplementation is not mandatory but will enhance growth density and coloration. As a slow grower, it is susceptible to algae, so maintaining good water quality and balanced nutrients is essential.

  • Tank Setup:
    This variety thrives when attached to hardscape elements such as rocks, driftwood, or small decorations. The rhizome must remain exposed above the substrate to prevent rot. Moderate to low lighting is recommended to avoid algae overgrowth while still highlighting its iridescent leaf tones. A gentle water flow helps keep the leaves clean and supports overall plant health.

Care Tips:

Attach 'Needle Leaf' Bucephalandra carefully to hardscape using aquarium-safe glue or fine thread. Avoid burying the rhizome in substrate. Regularly inspect for algae buildup on its narrow leaves and clean gently if needed. Maintain stable water parameters and provide consistent, light fertilization for optimal health. In vitro plants should be rinsed thoroughly to remove growth medium before planting.

Bucephalandra micrantha 'Needle Leaf' is a perfect choice for aquascapers seeking fine-textured details and subtle beauty. Its compact growth, resilience, and elegant leaf form make it a treasured addition to nano layouts, nature aquariums, and detailed aquascaping projects.
