General Description
Bucephalandra sp. "Pancur Aji" is a species of aquatic plant belonging to the Araceae family and the Bucephalandra genus. Native to Borneo, it is categorized under seed plants and flowering plants (Angiosperms). The plant typically displays medium to dark green colors and grows at a very slow pace.
Aquarium Suitability
This plant is considered suitable for aquariums, but its commercial availability is rare. It is generally easy to care for and can thrive in a range of water conditions, from low to high light levels and a temperature of 20-26°C. However, it is unsuitable for outdoor use in colder climates.
Demands and Hardiness
The plant has specific requirements for water conditions, including a pH range of 5-7, nitrate levels between 10-50mg/l, and a need for carbon dioxide levels of 10-40mg/l to support its growth. It is generally low maintenance but may require monitoring of nutrient levels to thrive properly.
Aquascaping & Usage
Bucephalandra sp. "Pancur Aji" is often used as an epiphyte, growing on hardscape elements within the aquarium. It is commonly placed in the midground of aquascapes to add greenery and texture to the overall design.
Propagation
The propagation of Bucephalandra sp. "Pancur Aji" can be achieved through various methods, including rhizome division, splitting, and cutting off daughter plants. These techniques can help expand the plant population within an aquarium over time.
Habitat and Distribution
In its natural habitat in Borneo, Bucephalandra sp. "Pancur Aji" is found growing as an epiphyte or epilith, often clinging to rocks or other surfaces. Its distribution is limited to specific regions in Borneo, where it thrives in the unique environmental conditions of its native waters.
