Remarks: Bucephalandra deep blue is a great coverage buce due to how its submerged form tends to stay rather short and spreads out in its growth being a low-growing species.

Along with this attractive coloration, Bucephalandra deep blue has unique shape to its leaves that tend to be small and coin-shaped with ruffled edges. A truly interesting species of buce, it can make a great addition to many aquascapes as a midground or foreground plant   Bucephalandra are similar to Anubias in that they are epiphytic meaning that they grow on structures such as wood, rocks, or decor rather than into the soil.

You can attach it by gently wedging the rhiszome into the structure you want it to grow on or by using
