Bucephalandra 'Wavy Green' is a compact, slow-growing rhizome plant from the rivers of Borneo, prized by aquascapers for its glossy, wavy-edged green leaves. Like Anubias, it's an epiphyte — attach it to hardscape rather than burying the rhizome, and it will slowly spread into a lush, textured accent. Each plant arrives potted in rockwool, ready to plant or split. Also known as 'Bukit Kelam' (Sintang) — sometimes sold as 'Green Wavy' or 'Wavy Leaf'. Key Benefits for Your Aquarium Hardy and beginner-friendly: thrives in low to medium light with no CO2 required (though it grows a little faster with both). Shrimp- and fish-safe: a favourite in Caridina and Neocaridina tanks — the textured leaves collect biofilm for shrimp to graze on. Attach anywhere: tie or glue the rhizome to wood or rock for foreground and midground detail, or to fill gaps in your hardscape. Slow, tidy growth: stays compact and low-maintenance, rarely needing trimming. Easy to propagate: split the rhizome to spread it across your scape over time. Care Guide Lighting: low to medium CO2: not required (beneficial) Placement: attach rhizome to hardscape — do not bury it Temperature: 22–28°C Growth rate: slow Grown and shipped from Lithuania. Available as a single pot or a value 3-pot pack for larger scapes.
