Ideal Tank Parameters:

• Temperature: 72-82°F (22-28°C)

Originating from Borneo, these captivating plants showcase an array of varieties, each boasting distinct foliage patterns, sizes, and hues. Their slow growth and hardy nature make them an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists, thriving in various water conditions and lighting intensities.

Attaching as Epiphyte Plants:

1. Clean the surface of the driftwood or stone where you intend to attach the Bucephalandra.
2. Use aquarium-safe glue or fishing line to gently secure the plant rhizome onto the chosen decor. Avoid burying the rhizome in the substrate as it may rot.
3. Allow time for the plant to attach itself securely to the surface. Over time, it will anchor itself naturally.
