Bucephalandra Apple Leaf

Bucephalandra is variation of the bucephalandra plant with a leaf blade that is sightly rounder and wider on the tip ends. Bucephalandra is low maintenance plant, making it perfect for novice freshwater aquarium keepers. It can be grown submerged or emersed for versatile design options. The plant's growth is slow with new leaves sprouting from long, thin rhizomes. It can be propagated by separating the rhizome gently and attaching to driftwood and rocks with super glue gel or thread. This variant has a special marble effect that has color combinations of green, brown, and red/purple tones. 

Tissue culture plants are grown in-vitro (literally: in the glass) in a nutrient-rich synthetic growing medium, either liquid or gel, without the presence of any other lifeforms. This guarantees a pest and disease-free specimen, while also providing accuracy throughout the trade.

Tissue culture plants should be removed from the cup as soon as possible. All plants grow on some sort of synthetic growing medium, ranging anywhere from liquid to jelly to firm gel. This should be removed and rinsed off. Gently massage the roots between your fingers until the gel dissolves away. Most plants can be broken up into smaller pieces and spread out in your aquarium. Smaller pieces are easier to plant.
