AquaArt Bucephalandra sp. 'Brownie'

Bucephalandra sp. 'Brownie' is endemic to Borneo and belongs to the genus Aracaea. In the wild it is endemic and - like all Bucephalandra plants - it is an epiphyte plant: it thrives on wood, coconut shells or lava rocks, granite and slate. It hardly needs any fertiliser and copes well with low light - ideal for shady spots! It is suitable for the foreground and midground because it grows very slowly and reaches a max height of around 5 cm. This particular variety owes its name to the colour of its leaves - the warm green-brown hue adds an interesting splash of colour to any aquascape - ideal for planted tanks with rich details!
