Bucephalandra sp. "Selangau"

Bucephalandra sp. 'Selangau' is named for its collection locality along the Selangau river in Sarawak, Borneo. It features broader, slightly undulating leaves compared to many buce morphs, with a pronounced metallic sheen ranging from teal to blue-green depending on the angle of light. Its medium size makes it versatile as a midground anchor or a transitional plant between foreground carpets and taller background species. It is reliably slow-growing and does not require CO2 to maintain health.

Light: Low to medium; 25–45 PAR; iridescence is most vivid under directional LED. CO2: Not required; optional for slightly faster growth. Water: pH 6.0–7.2, soft to moderately hard. Planting: Tie or glue rhizome to wood or stone; leave rhizome fully exposed. Growth: Slow; new leaves emerge every 3–6 weeks under good conditions.
