Bucephalandra kedagang

Bucephalandra kedagang is the classic, most widely kept Bucephalandra variety — smooth, oval leaves in a deep olive-green with a pronounced iridescent sheen that shifts between green, blue, and silver depending on the angle of light. If you're new to Bucephalandra, this is the natural starting point: it is reliable, attractive, and forgiving across a range of conditions.

Like all Buce: attach to hardscape, low light, no CO2 required. Growth is slow and steady. Shrimp are active on the leaf surface, which develops a healthy biofilm. The classic oval leaf shape works well on both smooth and textured hardscape.

Attach the rhizome to wood or rock with thread or aquarium-safe superglue. Do not bury the rhizome.
