Bucephalandra sp. "Wave leaf" Bucephalandra sp. "Wave Leaf" is an aquarium plant that can grow on rocks and roots. An endemic species from the Indonesian island of Borneo. The rhizome of the plant should not be buried in the soil.Difficulty of growing: easyLight requirements: lowCO₂ requirements: lowHeight of mature plant: 10 cmGrowth: slowTemperature: 22-28°CPlacement in aquarium: second levelOrigin: Borneo Island, Southeast AsiaCup diameter: 6 cmAlthough 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.
