Bucephalandra – Moonlight Bucephalandra 'Moonlight' is a stunning and elegant aquatic plant known for its shimmering silver-green leaves with subtle blue and metallic highlights. Under the right lighting, the foliage develops a beautiful iridescent glow, giving it the appearance of reflecting moonlight—hence its name. As an epiphytic plant, 'Moonlight' should be attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape rather than planted directly into the substrate. It is slow-growing, hardy, and easy to maintain, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquascapers. CO₂ injection and regular fertilisation will encourage healthier growth and enhance its vibrant colours. Its compact size makes it perfect for nano aquariums, nature-style layouts, and shrimp tanks, where it provides attractive grazing surfaces for biofilm.
