Bucephalandra Titan 2

Common Name:   Bucephalandra Titan 2

Bucephalandra Titan 2 features small, oblong leaves with ruffled edges. The leaves display a mix of brown, red, and olive green hues. It's highly prized for its pronounced iridescent coloration with appropriate care and when placed under aquarium LED lighting. This particular variant is a great choice for foreground to midground planting.

As an epiphytic plant, Bucephalandra generates new growth from its rhizome. It is a slow-grower and can be grown submerged or emersed. Optimal results are achieved for Bucephalandra in low to medium lighting conditions, fostering dense growth when provided with proper water conditions. CO2 injection, adequate water flow, and consistent tank upkeep can result in faster and more robust plant growth. When planting, don't cover the stem and rhizome to prevent plant decay and deterioration. While its care is the same as other popular aquatic species like Anubias and Java Ferns, Bucephalandra is less tolerant of abrupt parameter changes.

Key Features & Important Notes

• Bucephalandra is an epiphytic aquarium plant so it can be attached to aquarium hardscape.
• Do not plant Bucephalandra in substrate and cover the rhizome. This will cause it to melt and rot.
• Bucephalandra’s final size, coloration and growth rate are dependent upon the condition of the aquarium. Photos are a representation of what you will receive and may vary.
  
• Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
• CO2 injection will yield better growth.
• Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
