Bucephalandra 'Theia Green' Potted Aquarium Plant – A Lush and Compact Beauty for Hardscape Decoration

 

Bucephalandra 'Theia Green' is a strikingly elegant epiphytic plant, known for its compact growth and rich green, slightly ruffled leaves. This variety is perfect for adding detail and depth to aquascapes, especially when attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape features. Native to the streams of Borneo, Bucephalandra species are appreciated for their slow growth, hardiness, and ability to thrive in low-light, low-tech aquariums. Supplied as a potted specimen, this plant has a well-established root system, making it easy to introduce into your setup with minimal transition time.

 

Prepping for Aquarium Placement:

 

  • Before placing potted aquarium plants into your tank, it's crucial to remove them from their pots and thoroughly rinse off the soil or substrate they may be potted in. Gently shake or rinse the roots to remove excess debris without damaging them. Trim any damaged or overly long roots to encourage healthy growth. If the plant is held together by a foam or mesh material, be sure to remove it carefully to prevent it from decomposing in the aquarium.
  • When planting in the main aquarium, consider the specific needs of each plant species regarding light, substrate, and water conditions. Secure the plants in the substrate or attach them to decorations using aquarium-safe methods like plant weights or tie them to rocks or driftwood. Monitor the plants closely after planting to ensure they adapt well to their new surroundings.
  • You can often split potted plants into 2 or 3 individual plants to spread around your aquascape.
