Description
Bucephalandra lamandau is a compact Bornean epiphyte from the Lamandau river region of West Kalimantan, producing slightly pointed, dark green leaves on a creeping rhizome. It is more compact in form than kedagang and grows even more slowly, building into a refined, detailed clump over time on its chosen piece of hardscape.
Care is the same as all Buce: low light, attach to wood or rock, no CO2 required but it benefits growth and leaf colour. Shrimp are active on the leaf surface. Well suited to nano aquariums and as an accent plant on detailed hardscape.
Attach the rhizome to hardscape with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome.

How does lamandau differ from kedagang?
Lamandau is more compact with slightly more pointed leaves. It grows even more slowly than kedagang and builds a more tight, refined clump.
Does it need CO2?
No — grows without it, though CO2 improves growth rate and can enhance the leaf colour.
How do I plant it?
Attach the rhizome to wood or rock with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome.
Is it suitable for nano tanks?
Yes — the compact, slow-growing form is well suited to nano aquariums.
Is it shrimp-safe?
Yes — Bucephalandra is excellent with shrimp. The leaf surface develops a biofilm shrimp actively graze on.
