✨Colors and a sense of weightiness reminiscent of the deep sea. A Bucepha quietly exuding a presence.
✨Bucephalandra sp. Neptune has dark green to bluish leaves that can sometimes have a metallic sheen depending on the angle and lighting conditions. Although it does not have a flashy color, it tends to create strong shadows, giving "depth" and "weight" to the aquascape. It is
particularly effective in calm layouts or compositions centered around dark-colored Bucepha.
