BUCEPHALANDRA sp. 'ULISSE' – In Vitro Aquarium Plant with Red, Green and Brown Leaves
Bucephalandra sp. 'Ulisse' is a rare, slow-growing epiphyte from tropical Asia, known for its multicolored foliage combining shades of green, red, and brown. It thrives in low-light, low-CO₂ conditions, making it a perfect choice for low-tech aquariums, nature-inspired scapes, and shrimp-friendly environments.
With a growth habit similar to Anubias, it should be attached to hardscape like wood or rock, keeping the rhizome exposed. Its slow, compact growth and subtle coloration make it ideal for midground placement, where it adds contrast and texture without overpowering the aquascape.
Grown in vitro, this plant is free from snails, pests, and algae, ensuring a clean start and a smooth transition to underwater life.
