Bucephalandra Green Wavy –  Elegant Wavy Leaves

Bucephalandra Green Wavy, also known as Bucephalandra pygmaea "Bukit Kelam", is a striking and highly sought-after variant native to the rainforest-covered boulders of Bukit Kelam in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Cultivated through sterile tissue culture propagation, this medium-sized Bucephalandra is known for its elegant, gently wavy leaves and unusually fast growth compared to most Buce species.

Often mislabeled as Bucephalandra sp. "Melawi", this plant is widely cherished by aquascaping enthusiasts for its robust nature and ability to form lush, dense mats. Whether grown submerged or emersed, it brings a touch of tropical rainforest charm to any aquascape or paludarium setup.
