Bucephalandra White Sp Limited
Bucephalandra ‘White’ Care Guide
Description
Bucephalandra ‘White’ is a rare and highly sought-after variant of Bucephalandra, prized for its stunning pale or whitish leaves that contrast beautifully with typical dark-green or blue Buce species. The leaves are thick, slightly wavy, and often exhibit a marbled or speckled appearance, with hints of green or silver. Like other Bucephalandra, it grows slowly, forming compact clumps with a creeping rhizome.
This variety is typically smaller, making it ideal for nano tanks, foreground placement, or attaching to hardscape (rocks, driftwood). Under optimal conditions, it may produce small, white or cream-colored flowers when grown emersed.
Care Requirements
1. Lighting
– Low to moderate light is best; too much light can promote algae on its slow-growing leaves.
– Intense lighting may enhance its unique coloration but isn’t necessary for survival.
2. CO2 & Fertilization
– CO2: Not required but can encourage faster growth and better color development.
– Nutrients: Benefits from a nutrient-rich environment—use liquid fertilizers (especially potassium and iron) or root tabs if planted in substrate.
3. Water Parameters
– Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
– pH: 5.5–7.5 (prefers slightly acidic to neutral water)
– Hardness: Soft to moderately hard (2–15 dGH)
– Water Flow: Moderate flow helps prevent debris buildup on leaves.
4. Placement & Attachment
– Best attached to rocks or driftwood (use super glue gel or thread).
– If planted in substrate, do not bury the rhizome (to prevent rot).
5. Maintenance
– Slow grower—requires minimal trimming.
– Remove old or melting leaves to encourage new growth.
– Sensitive to sudden changes—acclimate slowly when introducing to a new tank.
Challenges & Tips
✔ Melting: May shed leaves when first introduced but usually recovers if kept stable.
✔ Algae Risk: Slow growth makes it prone to algae; maintain good tank hygiene and avoid excessive light.
✔ Rhizome Rot: Ensure the rhizome is exposed to water flow and not buried.
With stable conditions, **Bucephalandra ‘White’ makes a stunning, exotic addition to any aquascape! 🌿🤍

EASYLIFE 25 ROOT STICKS
Optimal root feeding
The Easy-Life 25 Root Sticks are ideal to feed plants directly at the roots. The product contains 25 pieces of special clay sticks that are very nutritious and have a high iron content. Due to the special pre-treatment of these sticks, they do not fall apart immediately upon contact with water. The release of nutrients goes very gradually over a period of several weeks. The water will not get cloudy at all, so algae cannot take advantage of that. The product is very easy to use and causes no additional water pollution.
Use these root sticks for plants with a strong need for root nutrition such as Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus or Lotus. If the soil layer is very narrow or the plant roots are small, the sticks can be very easily broken into smaller pieces. The root sticks can therefore be used in all cases.
