✨A texture-oriented Bucephalandra with a deep blue tone that quietly stands out.
✨Bucephalandra sp. Deep Blue is a type with a calm dark green base that can sometimes appear blue or have a metallic sheen depending on the angle and amount of light. Rather than being a flashy color, the "sunken blue" nuance adds depth to the aquascape.
Because it is not too assertive, it is suitable for layouts that emphasize a natural feel and for combining with other colorful Bucephalandra.
