Common Name: Bucephalandra Arrogant Blue
Buce ‘Arrogant Blue’ is a low-tech, beginner-friendly aquarium plant characterized by its small, oval-shaped leaves and elegantly ruffled margins. This variety is highly prized for its transition from olive green to deep purplish-blue tones, revealing a brilliant iridescent sheen when placed under LED lighting. It is a fantastic choice for foreground or midground placement in freshwater aquascapes, where it will slowly sprout from thin rhizomes to establish a dense, iridescent colony within a planted tank. Grow it emersed or submerged and attach it to hardscape for best results.

"I got 3 tanks, and one of my 10g is all Buceplants. The first time I ordered plants, they grew well and are thriving, sou I bought more for the same tank the only new one was the Arrogant Blue and in a week I saw them a Damselfly nymphs. I'm fishing them out manually because I don't want to do a do over of the tank, but it sucks. 😕 Sou people do plant quarantine don't do like me wash and plant.
