✨A hint of faint blue. A ghost-type Bucepha that combines transience and austerity. ✨
Bucephalandra sp. Brownie Ghost Blue has a brown to dark-toned leaf color as its base, with a hint of blue that "floats" depending on the angle and amount of light. Its charm lies in its understated, dreamy nuance, rather than a strong blue color.
As its name suggests, it is not too assertive, and has a subtle elegance that can only be enjoyed by those who notice it, adding depth to a tranquil aquascape.
