Bucephalandra Lamandau Purple UNS Tissue Culture

Common Name: Bucephalandra Lamandau, Bucephalandra Lamandau Mini Purple

Bucephalandra Lamandau Purple is a compact, miniature variation within the Bucephalandra family. It features remarkably tiny leaves displaying an array of deep pink to purplish hues. It can be grown submerged or emersed. Despite its small size, it's highly prized for its pronounced iridescent coloration with appropriate care and when placed under aquarium LED lighting. This variant is an excellent choice for nano planted tanks, possibly ranking as the smallest among known Bucephalandra variations in the planted aquarium hobby.

After Buce has been grown submerged for some time, they develop new leaves which are sometimes referred to by Buce collectors as "water leaves".  These water leaves are the ones that contain the intense red, blue and purple coloration that makes Buce so sought after.  

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.
