Default My Bucephalandra collection

I have great pleasure to introduce my Bucephalandra collection. If possible I will try to add a short description about presented varieties. To this time I managed to collect 57 varieties of Bucephalandra including one Schismatoglottis and Aridarum. So here we go:

- Copi Susu little-sized variety:
A lovely 4-color little variety. Here we can distinguish colors such as dark green of mature leaves, with glossy dark-blue tint. The newly grown leaves are red with green sheen. One of the most prized and rare varieties Bucephalandry.


- Kedagang - medium-sized variety:
One of the first found and to this day considered one of the most beautiful varieties Bucephalandra. It is characterized by slightly wavy leaves with an unusual color. Red core plant contrasts well with dark blue color of older leaves. Young leaves are light green, with a good fertilization can get amazing "glowing" green visible at different angles of view. With time, the leaves become darker and darker to give a dark navy blue sheen. The variety known to be one of the fastest growing.





- Sekadau2 - little-sized variety:
Leaves are longitudinal and slightly wavy



- Kualakuayan1 - little-sized variety.
The older leaves is visible blue sheen. It has a distinctive red core. Low and creeping variety:



- Kayulapis1 - very little-sized variety.
Longitudinal, wavy leaves (more pronounced in the emers version).


- Red Gaia - medium-sized variety.
The bottom of the leaf is red. Slightly wavy edge. Creeping.



- Metalic Wave - medium-sized variety.
Leaves are longitudinal and wavy at the edges


- Pearl Grey - medium-sized variety, Rosettes growth. It has a very densely distributed spots, which gives it a distinctive appearance, hence the name "Pearl Grey".


- GBV [Green/Blue/Velvet] - medium-sized variety
Purchased with this inicial, I guess that mean colors, green and blue (also you can see purple on the new leaves) A variety of longitudinal leaves. New leaves are multi-colored :



- Velvet Leaf2 medium-sized variety
Long, thin, and wavy leaves, new leaves are red coloured.


- Kualakuayan2 medium-sized variety with big leaves:
Leaves of drop shape. Big, gark green, shining blue. New leaves are red coloured

Maybe sometime, when I clean up my tank New photos:

Bucephalandra Blue/green - multi coloured small or medium-sized variety (hard to categorized, not to small, also not too medium):


Bucephalandra Theia 6 - very minor variety, interesting colouring. Can you imagine that those leaves is in size of a small fingernail? A miracle of miniaturization



Bucephalandra Silky Blue1 - small-leaves variety, shining blue.
