Bucephalandra Catherinae

Bucephalandra Catherinae

Bucephalandra Catherinae is a beautiful and resilient aquarium plant native to the streams of Borneo. It features elongated, slightly rippled leaves that range from deep green to hints of bluish-purple under the right lighting. Its slow-growing nature and compact size make it a fantastic addition to freshwater aquascapes, especially for those looking to create a natural, textured layout. Whether used as a focal point or to complement other plants, Bucephalandra Catherinae adds depth and contrast to any planted aquarium.

Caring for Bucephalandra Catherinae

Bucephalandra Catherinae is an undemanding plant that thrives when attached to hard surfaces such as rocks, driftwood, or other aquarium décor. It propagates through rhizome division, slowly spreading as it establishes itself in the tank. Avoid burying the rhizome in the substrate to prevent rot. While this plant can survive in low-light conditions, moderate lighting and CO₂ supplementation will enhance its coloration and encourage steady growth.

• Minimum Lighting Required: Low to Moderate
• Temperature Range: 70-82°F
• Tank Placement: Foreground to Midground
• Plant Size: Due to its rarity and slow-growing nature, Bucephalandra is sold in 1 to 2-inch stem lengths. These plants are healthy and well-established, ready to adapt to your aquarium. With proper care and stable conditions, they will continue to grow, propagate, and develop into lush, thriving clusters over time.

This versatile plant can be easily integrated into an aquascape by securing it to rocks or driftwood using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Over time, it will naturally anchor itself, blending seamlessly into the environment. Bucephalandra Catherinae pairs well with other epiphytes like Anubias and Java Fern, making it ideal for creating lush, layered aquascapes with minimal maintenance.
