Bucephalandra Pygmaea 'Wavy Green' - Tropica

Rare, slow growing, and absolutely mesmerizing — the crown jewel of aquatic plants.

Bucephalandra Pygmaea 'Wavy Green' is one of the most coveted aquatic plants in the hobby, and for good reason. Native to the island of Borneo, this rare and stunning plant features distinctive wavy edged leaves with a deep green base that shimmers with iridescent blue and purple highlights under aquarium lighting — an effect that has to be seen to be believed.

Sourced from Tropica, one of the world's most respected and trusted aquatic plant producers, our Bucephalandra is guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to plant. Tropica's rigorous growing standards mean you're getting a plant that is grown in optimal conditions from the start.

What makes it special:

• Tropica sourced — the gold standard in aquatic plant quality
• Potted and ready to plant straight into your aquascape
• Striking wavy leaf edges with iridescent shimmer under aquarium lighting
• Slow growing and low maintenance — perfect for low tech setups
• Grows on hardscape — attach to rock or driftwood for a stunning natural display

Care notes: Low to medium light. CO2 not required but accelerates growth. Grows best attached to rocks or driftwood with thread or gel super glue. Compatible with shrimp, snails, and all community fish. pH 6.0–7.5, temperature 72–82°F.

The creeping stem, rhizome, must not be covered when planting. This will cause the plant to rot and die.
