Bucephalandra Purple Swan
Description
Bucephalandra Purple Swan is a medium-sized aquatic plant that is a real rarity. We are proud to be able to offer them here. Unfortunately, the photos cannot even begin to reflect what they produce in person. It really lives up to its name. Like the swan, their leaves tilt, but the color makes them a real eye-catcher. Unfortunately only limited, so it sells out quickly.
History
Like all Bucephalandra plants, the Bucephalandra Purple Swan has its origin in Borneo and has been cultivated with good success for some time.
Look
Bucephalandra Purple Swan belongs to the medium-sized aquatic plants of this species. What is really special about it is the intensity of the color. The perfect purple that really comes into its own with the right lighting. A colorful wonder of nature. Otherwise its leaves are geometrically the same as those of the Swan Classic. Understandably, it does particularly well in the front area of the aquarium, where it can present itself.
Maintenance
All Bucephalandra belong to the genus Epiphytes (perch plants). So Bucephalandra ideally needs a hard surface (hardscape) such as stones, bones, roots, etc. to be able to wrap their rhizome (stem axis system) around them. It is fixed with a special thread or adhesive, which we offer for you to order here in our Buce2Love shop.
Bucephalandras are otherwise very undemanding in their keeping and care and can therefore be described as frugal and therefore particularly suitable for newcomers to the aquarium hobby. They are robust, require a medium level of illumination (appropriate lighting) and a temperature like in their home on Borneo, which is between 20 and 28 ° C. Ideally, you should ensure that there is sufficient water movement because they love it.
Bucephalandra Purple Swan does not require any special care and, like all Bucephalandras, can be handled. It is advisable to plant them in basins that have already been retracted.
Particularities
Every Bucephalandra is actually something special and, due to its biodiversity, is so popular and sought after in the aquarium hobby. Bucephalandra naturally grows very slowly, so that the plants become real rarities and thus a collector's item that you can have a lot of fun with. Who doesn't enjoy the calming effect of a local water landscape ?!
Our Buce2Love team knows how to look at the photos, especially for newcomers. Since the name sp. (spec) and there could be disagreements in the genre, as there is as yet no scientific standard catalog that has universal validity.
