بوسيفالاندرا دارك سكيلتون كينج – Bucephalandra Dark Skeleton Kin

The Bucephalandra Dark Skeleton King, also known as Dark Achilles, is a highly coveted variant with large, darkly colored leaves. New leaves exhibit a deep pink to red hue that darkens with age, making it a standout specimen in any aquascape. Though it can be grown both submerged and emersed, submerged growth may lead to minor leaf melt. This plant grows very slowly, with new leaves emerging from the base rhizome.

Notes:

Bucephalandra is epiphytic and should be attached to hardscape materials.

Avoid burying the rhizome in the substrate to prevent melting and rotting.

Remove from pot and rockwool before attaching to hardscape.

Growth, coloration, and size depend on aquarium conditions.

Stable parameters are crucial; drastic changes may cause the plant to melt or rot.

CO2 injection improves growth.

Ensure proper research for plant care.
