Bucephalandra Brownie Purple

Bucephalandra sp. 'Brownie Purple'

Family: Araceae

Ask Finn

A sought-after Bucephalandra variety with small, elliptic leaves that shimmer between dark purple-green and metallic blue-green depending on lighting angle. Like all Bucephalandras it attaches to rock and driftwood and grows very slowly. Iridescent spots on the leaves catch light beautifully in high-spec setups.
