Bucephalandra Deep Blue
Pot
Bucephalandra “Deep Blue” is a beautiful and hardy aquatic plant commonly used in aquascaping. Here’s how to care for it:
1. Lighting
Moderate to low light levels are sufficient for Bucephalandra.
Too much light can encourage algae growth on its leaves.
2. Water Parameters
Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F).
pH: 6.0–7.5, though it can tolerate slightly acidic to neutral conditions.
Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water.
3. Substrate
Bucephalandra can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscapes using thread or glue.
Avoid burying the rhizome in the substrate, as it may rot.
4. Fertilization
Provide a consistent supply of nutrients through liquid fertilizers or root tabs.
CO₂ supplementation is optional but can promote faster and more vibrant growth.
5. Water Flow
Moderate water flow helps prevent algae buildup and keeps the plant healthy.
6. Maintenance
Prune dead or decaying leaves to prevent algae and maintain aesthetics.
Bucephalandra grows slowly, so regular trimming isn’t necessary.
7. Propagation
Propagate by cutting the rhizome. Ensure each piece has at least one or two leaves.
8. Preventing Algae
Maintain a balanced tank with proper lighting, nutrient levels, and water changes.
Keep algae-eating fish or shrimp, like Amano shrimp or Otocinclus, in the tank.
By following these steps, your Bucephalandra “Deep Blue” should thrive and become a stunning addition to your aquarium.
