BUCEPHALANDRA NEEDLE LEAF – Compact Epiphytic Plant in 1-2-Grow! Format for Foreground and Nano Aquascapes
Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf' is a finely detailed Bucephalandra variant known for its narrow, wavy green leaves speckled with tiny white dots. Measuring under 0.5 cm wide and 1–2 cm long, the leaves grow slowly and compactly, making this species ideal for foreground layouts and nano aquascaping.
Slightly more demanding than Bucephalandra 'Diabolica' or 'Pygmaeae', this variant benefits from moderate lighting and light CO₂ supplementation to bring out its full potential. The reddish rhizome tips add contrast and interest, but must always remain unburied, as the plant should be attached to hardscape like driftwood or rocks.
Tropica’s 1-2-Grow! cup offers guaranteed lab-grown quality: no algae, snails, or pesticides, and fully safe for shrimp and sensitive species. To use, simply rinse off the gel, divide the tissue culture into 6–8 portions, and plant with tweezers in the desired location.
