Common Name: Needle Leaf Buce
Though Bucephalandras are from Asia and Anubias fom Africa, they have a lot in common, including how to grow them.
Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle leaf' has a bit higher demands than the 'diabolica' and pygmaeae, but is still a very easy plant to grow. Immersed leaves are green, elongated and slightly waved, showing numerous tiny, white dots. Each leaf is less than 0.5 cm broad and between 1 and 2 cm long. Youngest parts of the rhizome display a nice, red colour. Growth is slow.
A great plant to add accents to any aquascape or to add to your Bucephalandra collection!

Seperate into desired portions and attach to hardscape with plant weights, gel based super glue or thread. You can also wedge the plant in crevases and the roots will naturally take hold.
