Although the Bucephalalander has been known to botanists since the mid-19th century. Century is known, it enjoys in the aquaristics only for about a decade of growing popularity. The genus name refers to the name of Alexander the Great's beloved horse, Bucephalus. Bucephalandra sp. Wavyleaf was found in the wild in the riparian rivers of Borneo. Its characteristic feature is the relatively narrow and long leaves of deep green color with wavy edges.
In terms of overall structure and requirements, it resembles the popular Anubias. Aquascapers like to use this plant in arrangement design because it requires little maintenance due to its moderate growth. Bucephalandra can be successfully cultivated in paludariums, but the leaves above water are thicker and differently colored.
Bucephalandra sp. 'Wave Leaf' overgrows rushing streams and rivers with strong currents in the wild. It is also commonly found on the slopes of waterfalls. In the aquarium, it can therefore be successfully planted near the filter outlet or the circulating pump.
This variety of Bucephalandra is easy to grow and therefore recommended for beginners. It has a wide range of tolerable parameters. It grows in both soft and hard water, with a GH of 0 - 30. pH should be between 5 and 8. It can thrive in partial shade and even in shade, although it looks more colorful in intense lighting.
The propagation is similar to that of Anubias. It forms derived rhizomes that emerge from the main part of the plant. To obtain new cuttings, simply cut off the side shoots. If it stays on the mother plant, it forms a nice, compact growth.
In the background, attached to a root or rock, it cuts a fine figure. Its adhesive roots grow very strongly into the pores of rocks or roots. After some time, the grip is so strong that it is practically impossible to remove the plant without scissors or a knife. Bucephalandra can also be planted in loose and porous substrate, such as lava, but be sure to avoid covering the rhizome. Planted deep in the substrate, it loses its leaves and dies. In addition to aquariums, this species is also well suited for paludariums, but the humidity must always be kept high. Otherwise, the leaves of Bucephalandra will dry out and die.
Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items

Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica
Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica" is an aquarium plant that likes to grow on rocks and roots. It is an endemic species from Borneo.Difficulty of cultivation: easyLight requirements: lowCO₂ requirements: lowHeight of adult plant: 10 cmGrowth: very slowTemperature: 20-27°CPlacement in aquarium: Second levelOrigin: Borneo Island, Southeast AsiaCup diameter: 6 cmThe genus name is derived from the Greek term 'bull's head' and refers directly to the dust sacs in the horn-like inflorescences. Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica is a beautiful and rather rare species native to Southeast Asia. It is an endemic plant from Borneo that is not often found in aquariums and can be considered a rarity.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica belongs to the Araceae family, the picture plant family. The family counts up to 2,500 species, among which there are some epiphytes like Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica. In the wild, it grows on rocks, in streams and rivers with rushing currents, or on the walls of waterfalls.It prefers partial shade or even full shade. Its natural habitat is humid tropical forests where there is very little light. Borneo is in an equatorial climate zone, which means that there are dry and rainy seasons. As the rains come, the levels of the rivers rise, causing Bucephalandra to flood for months at a time. For this reason, the plant has taken on submersible characteristics and does well under water. When fully submerged, it is more intensely colored and has a finer leaf structure.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica has creeping stems with the tip pointing vertically upward. The characteristic elongated green leaves with a prominent central vein are its special ornament.It grows slowly and does not exceed 10 cm in height.
It is a low-maintenance species that needs no pruning and no intense lighting. It tolerates temperatures from 20 to 27 °C. However, it should be noted that it may lose its leaves in case of sudden changes in water or light parameters. Even if the plant loses its leaves but has a healthy rhizome, there is a good chance that it will recover and grow well again. Bucephalandra grows well in soft, slightly acidic water. The supply of carbon dioxide and fertilizers will favor the growth of the plant.It is not difficult to grow and can be recommended to beginners in aquaristics.
It looks great in the background, attached to a root or rock. In any case, the roots of Bucephalandra should not be covered with substrate. Outside the aquarium, this species is also well suited for paludariums, where, however, it has less color and stiffer leaves.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items.

However, it can also be used for eye-catching trees in the background. Under good conditions, it can produce a delicate white flower. Anubias Barteri Nana 'Petite' can handle a variety of temperatures. It can thrive in cooler tanks as well as in warm, tropical aquariums with discus fish, for example. It likes water with a pH of 5.5-8.0, up to 15 ° dH. it prefers weak, diffuse lighting, reaching more like 0.3 W/l. In case of prolonged and intense lighting, it may become overgrown with algae.

It grows slowly, but forms a very attractive shape, especially when it grows in a group to form a green, decorative clump. It is very comfortable in tanks with low water levels and looks great in nano aquariums. Therefore, it is a popular plant for many aquascapers. With it can create very interesting miniature compositions. It also does well in aquariums with cichlids and other herbivorous fish. It is often used in shrimp tanks and nano aquariums for fighting fish. It does not require special care, it is enough to remove older leaves, which stimulates the rhizome to form offshoots. If you want to get new cuttings, you can divide the rhizome into 2-3 cm long sections from time to time. To attach the Anubias to roots or stones, it is enough to use very thin string, thread or special glue for fixing aquarium plants.
Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself.

It is an endemic species from Borneo.Difficulty of cultivation: easyLight requirements: lowCO₂ requirements: lowHeight of adult plant: 10 cmGrowth: very slowTemperature: 20-27°CPlacement in aquarium: Second levelOrigin: Borneo Island, Southeast AsiaCup diameter: 6 cmThe genus name is derived from the Greek term 'bull's head' and refers directly to the dust sacs in the horn-like inflorescences. Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica is a beautiful and rather rare species native to Southeast Asia. It is an endemic plant from Borneo that is not often found in aquariums and can be considered a rarity.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica belongs to the Araceae family, the picture plant family. The family counts up to 2,500 species, among which there are some epiphytes like Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica. In the wild, it grows on rocks, in streams and rivers with rushing currents, or on the walls of waterfalls.It prefers partial shade or even full shade. Its natural habitat is humid tropical forests where there is very little light. Borneo is in an equatorial climate zone, which means that there are dry and rainy seasons. As the rains come, the levels of the rivers rise, causing Bucephalandra to flood for months at a time. For this reason, the plant has taken on submersible characteristics and does well under water. When fully submerged, it is more intensely colored and has a finer leaf structure.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica has creeping stems with the tip pointing vertically upward. The characteristic elongated green leaves with a prominent central vein are its special ornament.It grows slowly and does not exceed 10 cm in height.
It is a low-maintenance species that needs no pruning and no intense lighting. It tolerates temperatures from 20 to 27 °C. However, it should be noted that it may lose its leaves in case of sudden changes in water or light parameters. Even if the plant loses its leaves but has a healthy rhizome, there is a good chance that it will recover and grow well again. Bucephalandra grows well in soft, slightly acidic water. The supply of carbon dioxide and fertilizers will favor the growth of the plant.It is not difficult to grow and can be recommended to beginners in aquaristics.
It looks great in the background, attached to a root or rock. In any case, the roots of Bucephalandra should not be covered with substrate. Outside the aquarium, this species is also well suited for paludariums, where, however, it has less color and stiffer leaves.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items.

Bucephalandra sp. Brownie is a real rarity. In nature it grows in streams and rivers, but also on the slopes of waterfalls for example. The equatorial climate zone where Borneo is located is known for its abundant rainy seasons. As the rains come, the levels of the rivers rise, damming up Bucephalandra for months at a time. For this reason, the plant has taken on submersive characteristics. Under water it is more intensely colored and has a finer leaf structure.Bucephalandra sp. Brownie is an easy plant to grow, provided the right conditions are present. It does not make great demands on the parameters. It grows in both soft and medium hard water. It prefers a pH between 5 and 8. The light requirement of this species is low, and it thrives in partial shade and even in shade. If the conditions in the aquarium suit it, it will begin to produce offspring which can be detached and propagated. If allowed to grow, they will form a dense clump. It may also be that it blooms.

Bucephalanders are interesting plants that belong to the rheophytes. They have a prehensile root that keeps them on rocks, and they do not need a substrate to grow properly.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then put them on the selected items at a small distance..
