Bucephalandra sordidula 'Blue'

Bucephalandra sordidula 'Blue' is a highly sought-after Bucephalandra species prized for its narrow leaves and intense metallic blue iridescence. Under proper lighting, the foliage displays striking shades of blue, teal, and deep green that shimmer as light reflects across the leaf surface.
