Common Name: Bucephalandra Green Wavy Marbled
Bucephalandra Variegated Marble is an extremely rare form of Bucephalandra. The creation of this beautiful variation stemmed from a random mutation that was first found in a standard Bucephalandra Green Wavy. Buce Variegated Marble features the same leaf shape with a unique speckled color pattern. This mutation was not consistent at first and this newfound variegated growth had to be meticulously stabilized over the course of years. Today, the plant now grows this way, but this form of Bucephalandra is exceptionally rare and very difficult to come by in the hobby.
Like other species of Buce, the plant is very slow growing. Due to its rarity, quality lighting, clean water, and extra care should be taken to ensure it thrives. It can be propagated by cutting the rhizome and attached to driftwood and rocks using super glue gel or thread.
