Bucephalandra ‘Bukit Kelam’: Enchanting Wavy Green for Your Aquascape

Discover the captivating beauty of Bucephalandra ‘Bukit Kelam’, an easy-care, iridescent aquatic plant perfect for adding unique texture and rich colour to your planted aquarium.

Overview
This highly sought-after Bucephalandra variant, native to Borneo’s fast-flowing streams, displays striking dark green to brownish-green leaves with beautifully wavy edges. Often speckled with tiny white “glitter” spots, ‘Bukit Kelam’ maintains a compact size, making it ideal for foreground or midground placement. Its slow, creeping growth habit and ability to flower underwater add a natural, intricate dimension to your aquascape.

Care Level
Bucephalandra ‘Bukit Kelam’ is considered easy to moderate in care, suitable for aquarists of most experience levels. It thrives in low to medium lighting and does not strictly require CO2 injection, though it benefits from it for enhanced growth and coloration. Ensure you never bury its rhizome, as this can lead to rot; instead, attach this resilient epiphytic plant to hardscape.

Tank Essentials
While flexible, Bucephalandra ‘Bukit Kelam’ appreciates stable water conditions and good water flow. No specific minimum tank size applies to plants, but its compact nature makes it excellent for nano tanks and detailed setups. Secure your plant to driftwood or rocks using aquarium-safe glue or thread, allowing its roots to naturally anchor.

Diet
This robust aquarium plant primarily absorbs nutrients directly from the water column. Supplementing your tank with a comprehensive liquid fertilizer will support vibrant growth and rich leaf colour.
