✨The slender, continuous leaves create a unique presence. A bucepha with a distinctive form. ✨
Bucephalandra sp. CENTIPEDE, as its name suggests, is characterized by its unique, slender, continuous leaves that resemble a centipede. It stands out from the typical round or oval-leafed bucephas, and its linear silhouette adds movement and rhythm to your layout.
Its color ranges from a muted green to a slightly darker shade, and it's not too eccentric, allowing you to enjoy the individuality of its shape.
