Bucephalandra Dark Serimbu The Bucephalandra Dark Serimbu is a rare, darker variant of the Serimbu line — originally collected from the Serimbu area of Landak Regency, West Kalimantan. Young leaves emerge in light brown-red to apricot tones before maturing into deep, dark green with a striking bluish-grey iridescent sheen. The leaf margin is notably straight and clean, giving it a more refined look than many wavy-leafed Buce varieties. A prolific bloomer both emersed and submerged, with brown-red stems and pale pink spathes — making it as interesting out of water as in it. Why Suksai Aquatic?
