Bucephalandra 'Kedagang' - Limited Edition Tropica 1-2 Grow!
Bucephalandra sp. "Kedagang" is a small, beautiful Bucephalandra variant which is well known but still rare in the hobby. This has been released as Limited Edition from world famous plant producer Tropica.
It doesn't have high demands, but under medium to high light and a good CO2 supply and ample nutrient levels it is the most beautiful.
The longish, arching leaves with rippled margin grow to a length of around 4 - 5,5 cm and to a width of 0.8 - 1,2 cm. The leaf stalk is about 0,6 - 1 cm long. The upper side of the leaf is dark brown to green with a blueish shine and a lot of tiny silvery dots. The leaf underside is of a silvery white to pale purple. The rhizome tips and the young leaf stalks are wine red. The rhizome has a creeping to ascending growth habit and branches readily. Thus the plant will grow into a large group over time. In the aquarium it flowers only very seldom.
In comparison with other Bucephalandra variants, "Kedagang" is a rather "fast" grower. It does not have high demands, but under medium to high light and a good CO2 supply and ample nutrient levels it is the most beautiful. I is best tied to rock or driftwood where it attaches itself by its roots.
In our opinion, Bucephalandra sp. "Kedagang" is one of the be most suitable and also most beautiful Bucephalandras for aquariums. It is versatile and looks best as a larger clump of many shoots on the hardscape.

Highly decorative plant for rock and wood
This arrives in a small pot but easily broke up into about 4 or 5 plants which attached easily to the rock and wood in the aquarium. Good value for that number, and they should grow quickly.
