Tropica Bucephalandra ‘Kedagang’
The ‘Kedagang’ is a variety of the Bucephalandra family that originated in Borneo.
It is characterized by long, narrow, dark green leaves with white dots. The leaf can be 1-2 cm wide and up to 6 cm long.
The rhizomes are red and similar to the Red variety of Bucephalandra. When immersed, a blue metallic shade may appear on the leaves.
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. It is best tied to rock or driftwood where it attaches itself by its roots.
