Bucephalandra theia is a slow-growing, compact aquarium plant prized for its deep green to bluish leaves and subtle iridescent sheen under good lighting. Native to Borneo, it naturally grows attached to rocks and wood in fast-flowing streams, so in the aquarium it should be tied or glued to hardscape rather than buried in substrate, as covering the rhizome can cause rot. It’s well suited to low to moderate light and benefits from stable conditions, making it ideal for nano tanks and detailed aquascapes. Growth is steady rather than fast, but with patience it forms dense, characterful clumps that add texture and depth without taking over your layout.
Have been using Aquaessentials on and off, for many years now. On and off because at times I have taken a break from aquatics, but rest assured when I'm ready to start up again or expand, aquaessentials is my first and only choice. They have always amazed me with the unbeatable quality of the plants and decor they supply, and have always been superfast with deliveries. They always have a vast range online and are always well stocked. None of the numerous aquatic stores I have visited over the years could ever be considered a match for this. In short whenever I need plants or decor for my aquarium projects Aquaessentials will alway be my one and only goto.
These guys are the best , well packaged healthy plants, really impressed with the quality yes they are a little more money than buying off say ebay , but you get what you pay for , keep up the good work , ill be back 👍
So happy with my plants I received chose the 12 mystery box as not disappointed great company and plants will totally recommend
Did not expect the Lagenandra to look so good I love it. Great order again, fast arrival, & no issues 👌🏼
First time ordering plants online and I now have a permanent source. Not only cheaper but so much better than previous purchases I’ve made in store.
Can’t make a single complaint, next day delivery, great packaging no damage anything. And the moss balls are so tiny I love it. Can’t wait to add them to the tank.
They include little care sheets to figure out how to properly care for your plants if needed. Will be coming back when I’m ready to move forward with the next plants. Great company ☺️
