Common Name: Bucephalandra Brownie Phoenix
Bucephalandra Brownie Phoenix is an easy aquarium plant that is perfect for beginners. Brownie Phoenix can be grown in both submerged aquarium conditions or added to your favorite terrarium setups as long as humidity levels are increased to prevent the plant from drying. Like other species of Buce, Brownie Phoenix is a slow-growing plant. This makes it more susceptible to algae growth on its leaves, so it should be placed in a slightly shaded area when kept in aquarium conditions.
Bucephalandra are known and loved for their color display. To achieve optimal color, CO2 injection, moderate lighting, quality aquarium plant fertilizer and good maintenance habits are highly recommended. New growth can be seen sprouting from the main rhizome. Bucephalandra Brownie Phoenix can be attached directly to your hardscape, but it is important to ensure the rhizome is not buried or suffocated to prevent the plant from dying off.
