✨A mysterious, deep color tone and a profound feeling. A brownie-type bucepha with a striking austere look.
✨Bucephalandra sp. Brownie Hermes has a very austere atmosphere, with brown to dark tones as its base and the appearance of purple or black depending on the light. Although it does not have flashy colors, the strong shadows and texture of the leaves add depth and tension to the aquascape.
When combined with bright bucepha or a layout dominated by greenery, it plays an important role in tightening the overall look.
