Great color!
I ordered one plant and got enough to split into three sections - this is one of them. They all grew new leaves quickly and have a beautiful deep purple color. Great stuff!

Common Name: Bucephalandra Black Pearl
Bucephalandra Black Pearl features iridescent speckled leaves that are oblong in shape with a raised center vein. It can be grown submerged or emersed. Similar to other Bucephalandra species, Black Pearl exhibits its distinct coloration under proper care and when placed under aquarium LED lighting. It's a superb choice for nano planted tanks or as delicate accents in larger setups. As an epiphytic plant, Bucephalandra sprouts new growth from its rhizome.
Thriving under low to medium lighting, Bucephalandra achieves dense growth when provided favorable conditions. CO2 injection, proper water circulation, and regular tank maintenance can encourage faster and more robust growth. When planting, avoid covering the stem and rhizome to prevent rot and withering. Its care is similar to that of popular aquatic plants like Anubias and Java Ferns, but Bucephalandra is less tolerant of sudden parameter changes.
