AquaArt Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle leaf'

Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle leaf' is a leafy plant endemic to Borneo. It has a low, creeping growth habit and has delicate, olive-green leaves - ideal for layouts that feature a lot of little details. Like all other Bucephalandra plants, it is an excellent epiphyte for hardscape material made of rock, wood or coconut shell. Since it has low nutrient requirements and can cope well with low light, it is suitable for shady edges or caves. It is suitable for the foreground or midground and is a good choice for small aquariums.
