History
Like all Bucephalandra plants, the Bucephalandra Pink Lady has its origin in Borneo and has been for some time
Cultivated time with good results.
Look
The size of the Bucephalandra Pink Lady makes it one of the medium-sized aquatic plants of its kind. Her overall appearance appears delicate and soft to the observer. Whereby it has a somewhat more pronounced petiolus in proportion, which extends linearly to the tip of the leaf. There is hardly any corrugation on the edge of the leaf. The leaves are geometrically narrower and elliptical in shape. It brings out a pink color from the center, which develops into green tones towards the top. Under appropriate lighting, it also shimmers a little, so that the bottom line is that it becomes a very pretty plant that looks good in the aquarium.
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 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 sp. Pink Lady does not require any special care and can be handled like all Bucephalandras. It is advisable to plant them in basins that have already been retracted.
