Bucephalandra Kedagang Mini Round (Farmed)

Common Name: Bucephalandra Kedagang Mini Round

Buce ‘Kedagang Mini Round’ is a vibrant, low-tech aquarium plant featuring smaller and narrower leaves than the normal Kedagang Round . This variety originates from the Kedagang region of Borneo and is highly prized for its compact size, which allows for superior plant-to-scape scaling in small environments. Highly versatile, it can be grown submerged or emersed, usually attached to hardscape such as driftwood or rocks rather than being buried in traditional aquarium substrate. It's a great pick for the foreground of freshwater aquascapes, where its petite stature creates a dense, detailed colony within a planted tank.

Key Features & Notes

• The "Mini Round" variant is specifically selected for its tiny footprint, making it the perfect tool for adding massive detail to nano tanks.
• Like its larger relatives, this variety can develop deep, saturated tones and subtle iridescence when maintained under quality full-spectrum LED lighting.
• This is one of the most durable species in the hobby and thrives in shaded areas. It is an ideal choice for aquascapes where other plants might struggle.
• It is perfectly at home fully submerged in an aquarium or emersed in high-humidity terrariums, vivariums, and paludariums.

Care Tips & Preparation

• Bucephalandra is an epiphytic plant that should be attached to rocks or driftwood . Never bury the rhizome in substrate, as this will cause the plant to rot and melt.
• Carefully remove the plant from its pot and clear away all rockwool from the roots. For a deep dive on prepping potted plants, click here .
• Avoid making drastic changes to your water parameters or lighting. Unstable conditions are the primary cause of leaf melt in new specimens.
• While this plant is hardy and low-maintenance, CO2 injection will yield much faster growth. We recommend researching your specific water chemistry to ensure your plant thrives.
• Final size and coloration depend entirely on your specific aquarium conditions. Please note that photos are a representation, and individual plants may vary.
• Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
