Overview:

Bucephalandra ‘Wavy Leaf’ is an attractive and popular Bucephalandra variety, valued for its gently rippled leaf edges and deep green to bluish-green tones. The wavy leaf structure adds texture and subtle movement to planted aquariums.

Like all Bucephalandra species, it is well suited to nano aquariums, shrimp tanks, and detailed aquascapes. Each plant may show slight variation in colour and leaf shape, adding to its natural appeal.

Care and Growth:

This plant thrives in low to medium lighting and does not require CO₂ injection, though supplementation can support healthier growth. It should be attached to rocks or driftwood, keeping the rhizome exposed to prevent rot.

Growth is slow and steady. Bucephalandra ‘Wavy Leaf’ prefers stable water parameters and gentle water flow. Minor leaf melt may occur during acclimation, but new growth typically follows once established.
