BUCEPHALANDRA DEEP PURPLE – Rare Epiphyte Plant with Purple Foliage for Tropical Aquariums
Bucephalandra Deep Purple is a rare and highly sought-after variety of the Bucephalandra genus, discovered in the Kapuas region of Indonesian Borneo. Its exact species classification remains unclear, adding to its botanical intrigue. Underwater, it develops striking purple tones, making it a prized addition to any aquascape.
It features elongated elliptical leaves with slightly wavy margins and short petioles. The plant grows slightly larger than other Bucephalandras but retains a slow and compact growth habit, ideal for hobbyists seeking a low-maintenance, decorative aquatic plant.
Like all Bucephalandras, Deep Purple is an epiphyte, best attached to driftwood, roots, or rocks rather than being planted in the substrate. It thrives under moderate lighting, good water flow, and consistent nutrient and CO₂ supplementation, which helps highlight its unique coloration and vitality.
Suitable for a wide range of aquascaping styles—from nature-inspired to minimalist—this plant adds depth and elegance to freshwater aquariums. It is compatible with fish, shrimp, and snails, making it a long-lasting and decorative solution even for small tanks.
