Bucephalandra Boyan Mini Narrow is a rare Bucephalandra species. This specimen is a miniature variety and features deep green coloration with a prominent central vein that runs down each leaf. When grown in optimal conditions, Buce Boyan Mini Narrow has the potential to display iridescent color tones and is a perfect ornamental midground plant.

Bucephalandra are great for beginners and will adapt to a wide range of aquarium conditions. However, when given optimal care, growth is dense, healthy and colors intensify. Buce are versatile with placement and are suitable for a variety of set ups, including aquariums, terrariums, paludariums, and vivariums. Bucephalandra grow best being attached to hardscape, such as driftwood or rock. It is crucial to avoid burying the rhizome as this may cause rot.
