## Overview

Bucephalandra sp 'Red' is a slow-growing, rhizomatous aquatic plant native to Asia, supplied in healthy 5cm diameter rooted pots. Grown pesticide-free in Europe, it is safe for shrimp and fish, algae-resistant, and ready to ship immediately from the UK’s largest plant supplier.

## Description

Bucephalandra 'green velvet' is an exciting new plant to the hobby which Aquafleur have been growing for many months.Bucephalandra is a genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family so it makes them very unusual. The name derives from the Greek word for 'bull's head' due to its horn shaped antlers. Native to Borneo, this is a rare plant in the UK which is why it's so exciting!All Bucephalandra are slow growing and as a result prefer a low tech type of environment. I dare say it would do well in a CO2 infused tank, but it's certainly not necessary. Comparable to Anubias in terms of environment it prefers (low light). You need to tie them to wood or rock to survive otherwise the plant may rot.Plant information:Type: RhizomatousOrigin: AsiaGrowth rate: SlowSize: 5-10cm +

Review: Totally not what advertised - This plant was so small you can hardly see it, absolutely feel ripped off

## Features

- HEALTHY & ROOTED - 5cm diameter pots which are rooted, healthy and ready to be shipped. We don't supply cuttings which makes these aquarium plants very different to other suppliers.
- SHRIMP SAFE - completely safe with shrimp and all fish. No need to rinse before hand either as they're ready to go.
- GROWN IN EUROPE - because all of our plants are grown in Europe, no pesticides are ever used. This means they're completely safe for your aquarium.
- READY TO SHIP TODAY - unlike most suppliers, Aqua Essentials keep all their plants in stock. In fact they're the largest plant supplier in the UK so you're in safe hands.
- ALGAE FREE - due to the way these aquarium plants are kept, they are algae and snail free. Whilst this is not a cast iron guarantee (only tissue culture can offer this) all the pots are kept above the water line which minimises any algae or snails.
