🌿 Bucephalandra ‘Giant Broad Leaf’ – Rare Large-Leaf Aquatic Jewel

Bucephalandra ‘Giant Broad Leaf’, commonly known as Buce Giant Broad Leaf, is a striking and rare Bucephalandra variety admired for its wide, paddle-shaped leaves and commanding presence in aquascapes. Originating from the clean, fast-flowing rivers of Borneo, this slow-growing species stands out for its thick, glossy foliage that shimmers in deep green with subtle bluish tones under aquarium lighting. Its large, dramatic leaves bring instant depth and natural elegance to any aquascape—making it a prized gem among collectors and enthusiasts.
