Bucephalandra ‘Bukit Kelam’,also commonly known as ‘Wavy Green’, is an easy-care, slow-growing plant that thrives in lower light conditions, making it ideal for aquariums. Similar to Anubias, it naturally grows on rocks or wood in rivers and streams. Its green leaves, measuring up to 2 inches wide and 2 inches long, feature wavy edges and tiny white spots that enhance its appearance. The plant branches readily, creating a dense, attractive display without the need for frequent trimming. When planting, ensure the creeping stem (rhizome) is not covered, as doing so can cause the plant to rot and die.
