Bucephalandra purple Stardust

 

Bucephalandra sp. Purple Stardust is a rather small to medium-sized aquatic plant and is extremely rare to find on the market. In terms of the name, it hits the nail on the head! Stardust the stardust. If you look at the leaves from close up, you could imagine, with a little imagination, that this plant grew on some asteroid.

Bucephalandra sp. Purple Stardust is a small to medium-sized aquatic plant in its own right. Decisive for their popularity is, as expected, their shimmering play of colors under appropriate lighting conditions and of course their overall texture. Its leaves are geometrically elongated and have a smooth structure. From the color it brings out a natural-looking dark green that harmoniously merges into magenta color nuances. You might even think it's seamless. A really fascinating Bucephalandra that is fun to look at. But it is a real rarity that will become an eye-catcher in the aquarium and will sell out quickly. Quite suitable for newcomers.

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. Purple Stardust 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 It is advisable to plant them in basins that have already been retracted.
 

Every Bucephalandra is actually something special and, due to its biodiversity, is so popular and sought after in the aquarium hobby.
