Bucephalandra theia 'Green' is the standard green form of the popular theia variety, producing slightly wavy dark green leaves with the characteristic iridescent sheen of the genus. The green form has a clean, classic appearance that works well alongside almost any other aquarium plant, offering the Buce's distinctive shimmer and texture without the colour statement of the red or other coloured varieties.
Like all Buce: low light, attach to hardscape, slow growing, no CO2 essential. Shrimp are active on the leaf surface. A reliable and attractive epiphyte for any aquascape.
Attach the rhizome to wood or rock with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome.
