Bucephalandra Pygmy

Bucephalandra Pygmy, also referred to as Bucephalandra pygmaea ‘Bukit Kelam’, is one of the smallest and most delicate Bucephalandra varieties. Its petite, rounded leaves and slow, creeping rhizome growth make it a perfect choice for nano aquariums and intricate aquascaping layouts. This plant clings beautifully to rocks and driftwood, adding refined greenery and texture without overwhelming the scape.

Native to the shaded, fast-flowing streams of Borneo, it thrives in low to medium light and is well-suited for both low-tech and high-tech tanks. Under stable water conditions and CO₂ injection, the leaves may develop a striking bluish or purplish iridescence.
