✨A hint of blue blends into brown. A Bucepha that combines calmness and color. ✨
Bucephalandra sp. Brownie Blue has brown-based leaves with a hint of pale blue depending on the angle and environment. Rather than a strong color, the blue is hidden within a moist texture, allowing you to enjoy color changes without losing a natural feel.
This plant is easy to incorporate even for those who don't like flashy blues, and will add depth to a calm aquascape.
