✨A low, tight, jet black presence. A minimal Bucepha that tightens the foreground.
✨Bucephalandra sp. Mini Black Carpet is a foreground plant characterized by its extremely compact plant form and dark, blackish leaves. The leaves tend to grow low and easily gather together, and they play a role in tightening the surface around the base of stonework and the base of driftwood.
Although it does not have a flashy color change, the contrast created by the dark colors enhances the overall finish of the layout.
