Common Name: Buce Kedagang Round
The ‘Kedagang’ is a variety of the Bucephalandra family originated in Borneo. A specimen was brought to Tropica in 2013 by hobbyist and rare plants expert Massimo Iannella.
It is characterized by long, narrow, dark green leaves with white dots. The leaf can be 1-2 cm wide and up to 6 cm long.
The rhizomes are red and similar to the Red variety of Bucephalandra. When immersed, a blue metallic shade may appear on the leaves. A easy epiphyte plant to add some color and contrast to your scape!
Bucephalandra 'Kedagang'
Remove the plant and rock wool out of the pot and remove the rock wool and rinse in water. Remove any dead or damaged leaves. Bucephalandra sp. can be planted by attaching to rock or wood with string/fishing line or super glue. They can also be planted in the substrate but the rhizome, from which leaves and roots appear, must not be covered. If it is, the whole plant will rot and die. Low light and low to zero CO2 will be ok for this plant. If the plant is shaded the leaves and plant in general wont grow as large.
DO NOT RELEASE PLANTS AND LIVESTOCK INTO LOCAL WATERWAYS.
