Bucephalandra Batang Kawa on Driftwood

Bucephalandra Batang Kawa on Driftwood is a beautiful, low-maintenance aquarium plant already attached to natural driftwood and ready to place in your freshwater aquarium. This Bucephalandra variety is known for its deep green to bluish leaves, subtle shimmer, and slow-growing compact form.

Perfect for shrimp tanks, nano aquariums, planted tanks, and low-tech aquascapes, Bucephalandra Batang Kawa adds natural texture and contrast without requiring high light or CO2. Because it is an epiphyte, it grows attached to hardscape rather than buried in substrate, making this driftwood-mounted plant easy to add to almost any aquarium layout.

Planting & Maintenance Tips

This Bucephalandra is already attached to driftwood, so it does not need to be planted in the substrate. Simply place the driftwood in your desired location in the aquarium. Bucephalandra grows slowly and does best with stable water conditions, gentle flow, and low to medium lighting.

Avoid burying the rhizome in substrate, as this can cause the plant to rot. Occasional liquid fertilizer may help support healthy growth, stronger coloration, and leaf development.

Why Choose Bucephalandra on Driftwood?

Bucephalandra on driftwood is an easy way to add a natural planted look to your aquarium without complicated planting. The attached driftwood creates instant structure, while the slow-growing Bucephalandra adds texture, color, and surface area for shrimp and small fish to explore.
