Bucephalandra Artemis
Bucephalandra Artemis is a rare and stunning aquarium plant native to the riverbanks of Borneo. This slow-growing epiphyte features vibrant green leaves with a slightly wavy texture, often displaying subtle hints of blue or purple under the right lighting conditions. Its compact size and unique coloration make it a great choice for foreground or midground placement in freshwater aquariums. Bucephalandra Artemis naturally thrives when attached to rocks or driftwood, making it an excellent choice for aquascaping.
Caring for Bucephalandra Artemis
Bucephalandra Artemis is an easy-to-care-for plant, well-suited for beginners and experienced aquarists alike. It prefers stable water parameters and will grow steadily when attached to hard surfaces. This plant propagates through rhizome division, producing side shoots over time. To prevent rot, avoid burying the rhizome in substrate. While Bucephalandra Artemis does not demand high light, moderate lighting and CO₂ supplementation will enhance its coloration and promote healthy growth.
