Bucephalandra 'Brownie Phoenix' is a striking aquatic plant known for its elongated, wavy-edged leaves that develop a subtle bluish sheen when fully submerged. Under proper care and optimal LED lighting, its unique coloration becomes even more pronounced, making it a standout choice for nano tanks or as an accent plant in larger aquascapes. Like other Bucephalandra species, this plant can thrive both submerged and emersed, continuously sprouting new growth from its rhizome.

This slow-growing epiphyte does well in low to medium light conditions but flourishes best with stable water parameters, CO2 supplementation, and good circulation. To promote healthy growth, avoid burying its rhizome, as this can lead to rot. Its care requirements are similar to those of Anubias and Java Fern, though Bucephalandra tends to be more sensitive to sudden water parameter fluctuations. With the right setup, Bucephalandra 'Brownie Phoenix' will bring a touch of elegance and unique coloration to any freshwater aquascape.
