Bucephalandra Kedagang 52

Bucephalandra Kedagang 52 - Live Freshwater Aquarium Plant

Bucephalandra Kedagang 52 (Bucephalandra sp. 'Kedagang 52') is a stunning epiphytic plant prized for its compact growth and iridescent blue-green leaves. Native to the streams of Borneo, this hardy Buce variety is one of the most sought-after species in the planted aquarium hobby. Its slow, steady growth and low-light tolerance make it an ideal choice for aquarists of all experience levels.

Why Bucephalandra Kedagang 52?

Kedagang 52 stands out among Bucephalandra varieties for its distinctive leaf shape, wavy edges, and mesmerizing color-shifting shimmer under aquarium lighting. Unlike many aquatic plants that demand high light and CO2 injection, this Buce thrives in low-tech setups and requires minimal maintenance once established.
