Bucephalandra Arrogant Blue

Bucephalandra Arrogant Blue is a small to medium-sized variation in the Bucephalandra family. At first glance, Buce Arrogant Blue features a pronounced center vein and highly attractive iridescent speckled foliage. In some cases, newer leaves will produce unique dark green and hints of bright blue hues. Like all Bucephalandra, Bucephalandra Arrogant Blue will display unique coloration when given proper care and placed under aquarium LED lighting. This is the perfect Bucephalandra for any nano planted aquarium tank or for additional smaller plant details in larger aquariums. Bucephalandra is an epiphytic plant and will sprout new growth from its rhizome.

Bucephalandra does best in low to medium lighting and will grow nice and dense if favorable conditions are provided. CO2 injection along with a good flow and regular tank maintenance will promote quicker, more robust growth. The stem and rhizome should not be covered when planting as this will cause the plant to rot and wither. Care can be comparable to other popular aquatic plant species such as Anubias and Java Ferns, but Bucephalandra will not tolerate sudden changes well.
