A potted aquarium plant with blue-tinted leaves that help bring a natural, textured look to midground and foreground aquascapes. Slow growing and easy to settle in, it suits aquarists building Borneo-style jungle layouts, whether you're starting out or experienced. Attach it to driftwood or rock and let it hold its shape with just occasional trimming.
Bucephalandra sordidula 'Blue' is a potted aquarium plant with blue-tinted leaves that shift in tone depending on the light falling on them, a trait that sets it apart from plainer green hardscape plants. Aquascapers building natural, Borneo-style jungle layouts will find it suits midground or foreground spots where the colour can be seen up close. The plant helps add texture and a rare blue accent without demanding much upkeep.
Keeping it healthy doesn't require intense lighting; low to moderate light is enough. Push the light stronger, though, and more of that blue comes through in the leaves. Because growth is slow, the plant holds its form well and needs only occasional trimming.
Rather than planting it in substrate, fix it to driftwood or rock, echoing how it grows along riverbanks in the wild. This hardscape-based approach gives tanks a more natural look. Hardy and adaptable, the plant works across a range of aquarium setups, so it's a reasonable pick whether you're new to the hobby or have kept plants for years.
What you get: a pack of five pots of Bucephalandra sordidula 'Blue', ready to attach to driftwood or rock in your aquarium.
