Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf'
Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf' is a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts who value an elegant yet easy-to-care-for plant. Originally from Southeast Asia, this rhizome plant delights with its narrow, shiny green and slightly wavy leaves, which are decorated with fine, white dots. The youngest parts of the rhizome also stand out with their striking red coloration, which gives the aquarium a special visual depth.
Although it is somewhat more demanding than Bucephalandra varieties such as 'Diabolica' or 'Pygmaeae', it is still easy to cultivate. For optimum growth, the addition of CO2 and moderate to higher lighting is recommended. Thanks to its slow growth, it is ideal for detailed aquascapes without the need for extensive pruning.
When planting Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf', it is important not to cover the creeping rhizome, as this can lead to rotting. Its size, with leaves less than 0.5 cm wide and 1-2 cm long, makes it particularly attractive for nano aquariums or as a highlight in larger layouts.
