Bucephalandra Kedagang Round

Plant Profile

Common Name: Bucephalandra Kedagang Round

Buce ‘Kedagang Round’ is a beginner-friendly, low-tech aquarium plant characterized by its long, narrow, dark green leaves that develop a brilliant blue metallic sheen. This variety is highly prized for its deep coloration and unique leaf shape, which stand out as a sophisticated accent in any planted tank. It thrives submerged or emersed and prefers being mounted on driftwood or rock instead of being buried in substrate. This gives you tons of creative freedom, letting you tuck it into nooks, perch it on branches, or cluster it around focal points in your planted tank.

Key Features & Notes

Care Tips & Preparation

• Bucephalandra is an epiphytic plant that should be attached to rocks or driftwood. Never bury the rhizome in substrate, as this will cause the plant to rot and melt.
• Carefully remove the plant from its pot and clear away all rockwool from the roots. For a deep dive on prepping potted plants, click here.
  
• Avoid making drastic changes to your water parameters or lighting. Unstable conditions are the primary cause of leaf melt in new specimens.
• While this plant is hardy and low-maintenance, CO2 injection will yield much faster growth. We recommend researching your specific water chemistry to ensure your plant thrives.
• Final size and coloration depend entirely on your specific aquarium conditions. Please note that photos are a representation, and individual plants may vary.
• Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
