Description
Bucephalandra ‘Green Wavy’ is a small but mighty epiphyte, prized for its ruffled leaves and subtle iridescent green tones. Native to Borneo, it grows slowly and steadily, clinging to rocks or driftwood with ease. The wavy leaf margins give it movement and texture—like underwater foliage with a fashionable twist.
Perfect for nano tanks, shrimp setups, or adding contrast in densely planted aquascapes, this low-maintenance gem brings a polished, natural feel to any layout.
Care and Planting Directions
Do not bury the rhizome—attach the plant to wood, stone, or other hardscape using thread or glue. It thrives in low to medium light and doesn't demand CO₂, though it appreciates clean water and stable conditions. Growth is slow but steady. Trim old leaves to encourage new ones.
