Bucephalandra sp. Sekadau Bukit Betung

As an epiphyte, this plant should not be buried in the substrate. Instead, use super glue gel or fishing line to attach the rhizome to hardscape elements like driftwood or porous rocks.

Tissue culture plants are grown in a sterile laboratory environment, which guarantees they arrive free of snails, pests, and algae. It is the cleanest way to introduce new flora into an established aquarium.

While it can survive in low-tech setups, CO2 injection is highly recommended. Providing supplemental CO2 will significantly improve the plant's growth rate and help it develop its signature iridescent coloration.

Propagation is simple: use a sharp, clean pair of scissors to cut the rhizome into sections, ensuring each piece has at least a few leaves attached. You can then reattach these new sections to other areas of your hardscape.

Rhizome rot is almost always caused by burying the rhizome too deeply in the substrate or poor water circulation. Keep the rhizome exposed to the water column to ensure it stays healthy and continues to grow.
