It features a red rhizome, wavy leaf edges, and dark olive-green coloration. The top of the leaf is covered in tiny, silvery dots. After adapting to growing underwater, its leaves display a rich array of deep reddish-brown hues. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt can be grown submerged or emersed. I\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003et's highly prized for its pronounced iridescent coloration with appropriate care and when placed under aquarium LED lighting. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs an epiphytic plant, Bucephalandra generates new growth from its rhizome. Optimal results are achieved for Bucephalandra in low to medium lighting conditions, fostering dense growth when provided with favorable circumstances. Faster and more robust growth can be encouraged through CO2 injection, adequate water flow, and consistent tank upkeep. When planting, don't cover the stem and rhizome to prevent plant decay and deterioration. While its care is the same as other popular aquatic species like Anubias and Java Ferns, Bucephalandra is less tolerant of abrupt parameter changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Important Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBucephalandra is an epiphytic aquarium plant so it can be attached to aquarium hardscape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDo not plant Bucephalandra in substrate and cover the rhizome.
