Tropica Bucephalandra pygmaea Bukit Kelam (Low Tech)
Tropica Bucephalandra pygmaea Bukit Kelam is a very vigorous plant that was known under the name ‘Wavy Leaf‘. Their botanical assignment to the species ‚pygmaea‘ was made through extensive investigation of this interesting genus. Its variety name refers to its place of origin in the Sintang region. Bucephalandra are rheophytes – that means they grow on rocks near streams and cascades. Therefore, they should be attached ideally to root wood or stones in the aquarium. Its elongated, dark green leaves have a beautifully wavy edge. Bucephalandra pygmaea ´Bukit Kelam´ is recommended particularly for Nano Cubes and Scaper’s Tanks.

| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Rhizome plant |
| Placement | Foreground |
| Growth rate | Slow |
| Height | 3–6 cm |
| Light demand | Low → Medium — higher light brings out subtle blue-green iridescence |
| CO₂ requirements | Low → Medium — CO₂ strengthens growth and helps prevent melt |
In a few days, after placing your plants in the aquarium you will notice some of the leaves start to melt and fall away.
This means the transition process has started. Please note the plants might look DEAD, but they are fully alive, so do not panic. Also, after a few days you will notice new growth will appear and the plant will fully change its form into submersed growth. You need to continuously trim and put a fertilizer in for the plants to thrive in your aquarium. Two good fertilizers include Easy Life – Profito and Scape Complete or our premium APT Zero. All plants have specific needs but if you follow the general instructions on our labels the plant will transition well and will eventually succeed and prosper in your aquarium.
