Bucephelandra SP sintang

Bucephalandra sp sintang also known as ‘Wavy Green ‘ and ‘Wavy Leaf’. It has green leaves with wavy margins. It is a great choice for Buce enthusiasts!

It is a hardy and easy-to-care-for aquarium plant thus making it a great pick for beginners.

Buce works well in planted tanks as a midground plant and looks best when attached to aquarium hardscapes such as stones and aquarium driftwood. The bare minimum for this species is low light and clean water, and if given additional care such as CO₂ injection is given, this aquarium plant will grow at a faster rate as Bucephalandra are known for their slow-growing habits.

This lovely epiphyte is low-maintenance, however, it looks best in medium lighting with plenty of CO₂ and nutrients. Bucephalandra species are known for being slow growers in general, however, Bucephalandra sp sintang is an exception, as it grows very quickly.

The submerged plant grows a stem-like, erect rhizome with multiple “aerial” roots.

Cutting long shoots regularly encourages the stem to branch, resulting in magnificent dense bushes with many heads.

The cuttings can be nailed to the hardscape and will stick to it with their roots.

The submerged leaves are shorter and wavy, but the emersed leaves are longer and wavy.

Bucephalandra sp sintang is unquestionably appealing in moist paludariums, making it ideal for creating rainforest stream biotopes.

Bucephalandra care is similar to that of Anubias, Cryptocoryne, and Java Ferns!

Care Tips
