We stock a wide range of bucephalandra, a slow-growing epiphyte from Borneo that attaches to wood or rock rather than needing to be planted in substrate. It copes well in low light, making it a solid choice for less demanding setups, and its slow growth means shrimp love grazing on the biofilm that builds up on the leaves. Our range covers named varieties like Kedegang, Theia, Sordidula 'Blue' and Sintang, available potted or invitro depending on the plant.

If you're new to bucephalandra, tie or glue it to wood or rock rather than burying the rhizome, as it'll rot if covered in substrate. It's happy in most water conditions and doesn't need CO2 or heavy fertilising to do well, which makes it a forgiving choice alongside anubias and java fern.

Growth is slow, so don't expect a quick transformation, but it holds its colour and shape for a long time once settled. If you're not sure which variety would suit your tank, pop in, give us a call, or check our Beginner Planting Guide for more on getting started with plants.
