Planting Tips

Attach Bucephalandra Pinoh to aquarium rocks or driftwood using aquarium-safe glue or suitable thread. Keep the rhizome exposed rather than burying it in the substrate, as burial can cause it to rot.

This slow-growing plant is well suited to low-tech aquariums and does not require injected CO₂. Provide stable water conditions and gentle water circulation around the leaves. Avoid excessive lighting, which can encourage algae growth on its slow-growing foliage.

Newly introduced Bucephalandra may lose some older leaves while adapting to submerged conditions. If the rhizome remains healthy, allow the plant time to establish new growth.
