Bucephalandra  Black Mist is an easy plant, perfect for beginners.  New leaves are round and can have a reddish purple tone but as they mature, the shape gets longer and more narrow while the color tends to turn darker green.  It can be grown submerged or immersed. The plant is very slow growing, with new leaves sprouting from long, thin rhizomes.  It can be propagated by cutting the rhizome and attached to driftwood and rocks using super glue gel or thread.
