1-2-Grow! Bucephalandra Pygmaea 'Bukit Kelam'

Bucephalandra Pygmaea 'Bukit Kelam' is a compact and rare species of Buce, known for its delicate, elongated leaves and subtle iridescent tones that shimmer under aquarium lighting. Originally found in West Kalimantan, this variety is named after the Bukit Kelam mountain in Borneo and remains one of the more sought-after selections for nano aquascapes and detail-rich layouts.

As a tissue culture from Tropica’s 1-2-Grow! series, this cup contains pest-free and algae-free plants, ready to be divided and placed directly into your aquarium. Like all Bucephalandra, this species prefers to be attached to hardscape like driftwood or stone and thrives in low to medium light environments.

Why Choose This Buce?
