Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf'

The Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf' is an impressive plant for every aquarium and gives your underwater biotope a Far Eastern atmosphere. Originally from Asia, its characteristics and care requirements are reminiscent of the well-known Anubias species from Africa and are therefore very popular with aquarists.

### Easy-care and stylish:
Although the Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf' is considered easy to care for, it still needs some attention to thrive. Compared to other varieties such as 'Diabolica' and 'Pygmaeae', it has slightly higher demands, but these are easy for beginners to manage. A slight addition of CO2 and more intense light promote its growth and development.

### Unique appearance:
The narrow, elongated leaves of the Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf' have a slightly wavy structure and shimmer in a fresh green tone. The many small, white dots on the leaves give the plant a distinctive appearance. The leaves are fine and delicate, with a width of less than 0.5 cm and a length of about 1-2 cm.

### Rhizome with play of colors:
The creeping rhizome of the plant provides stability and adds color accents. The younger parts of the rhizome have a reddish color, which provides an attractive contrast to the green leaves.

### Slow growth:
Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf' grows slowly, which allows aquarists to observe its development over a longer period of time. It is important to ensure that the rhizome is not covered when planting to ensure the healthy growth of the plant.

### A touch of exoticism:
With the Bucephalandra sp. 'Needle Leaf' you bring a piece of Asian nature into your aquarium. This extraordinary plant brings not only exotic beauty but also elegance to your tank and is an enrichment for any underwater landscape.
