Overview:

Bucephalandra ‘Kedagang’ is a highly popular Bucephalandra variety, appreciated for its elongated, slightly wavy leaves and deep green to bluish tones. Subtle metallic highlights may develop under stable aquarium conditions, adding refined texture to aquascapes.

Its compact growth and slow development make it ideal for nano aquariums, shrimp tanks, and detailed layouts where understated elegance is preferred. Each plant may show slight variation in leaf shape and colour.

Care and Growth:

This plant thrives in low to medium lighting and does not require CO₂ injection, though supplementation can improve overall health and colour depth. It should be attached to rocks or driftwood, ensuring the rhizome remains exposed to prevent rot.

Growth is slow, and Bucephalandra prefers stable water parameters. Temporary leaf melt may occur during acclimation, but new growth typically follows once the plant is established.

• Elongated leaves with subtle metallic tones
