Care Tips for Bucephalandra Brownie Ghost

  • Lighting: Low to moderate lighting is ideal for Bucephalandra Brownie Ghost. While it can tolerate higher light levels, too much light can promote algae growth on its leaves.
  • Water Conditions: This plant prefers water temperatures between 68-78°F (20-26°C) with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. It can thrive in both soft and moderately hard water.
  • Substrate: Bucephalandra Brownie Ghost often does best when attached to rocks or driftwood, mimicking its natural growing conditions. It can also be planted in the substrate if desired.
  • Fertilization: Regular fertilization with a balanced aquarium fertilizer will support healthy growth and vibrant colors. While CO2 supplementation can enhance its development, it is not strictly necessary.
  • Water Flow: A moderate to strong water flow can mimic the plant’s natural environment and help keep its leaves clean and free from debris.

          WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

          Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

          However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

          1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
          2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
          3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
