Bucephalandra brownie ‘Neo’ is a compact and highly sought-after Bucephalandra variety known for its deep brown to dark green leaves with subtle iridescent undertones under aquarium lighting. Its tight growth habit and textured foliage make it an excellent accent plant for detailed, hardscape-focused Aquascapes.
Offered in tissue culture format, this plant arrives free of algae, snails, and pests, providing a clean and controlled start. Like most Bucephalandra species, ‘Neo’ is slow-growing and benefits from stable conditions, rewarding patience with rich coloration and healthy, compact growth.
