Care Tips: Bucephalandra Velvet is a slow-growing, low-maintenance plant that is well-suited for the midground to background of aquariums. It thrives in low to medium lighting, making it a perfect choice for low-tech aquariums. This plant is highly adaptable to various water conditions, preferring slightly acidic to neutral pH levels. Bucephalandra Velvet is known for its striking, velvety dark green leaves, which have a subtle iridescence, giving the plant a unique appearance in aquascapes. The plant grows best when attached to hard surfaces like driftwood or rocks, using plant glue or fishing line. It is important to avoid burying its rhizome in the substrate as this can cause rotting. Bucephalandra Velvet can tolerate a variety of substrates but benefits from nutrient-rich ones. Like other Bucephalandra species, it is sensitive to rapid changes in water conditions, so maintaining stable parameters is essential. Regular trimming is not necessary unless you want to maintain a compact size or remove older leaves.
