Bucephalandra 'Needle Leaf' is a rare and beautiful aquarium plant that has small, elongated leaves about 0.5–0.75 inch (1–2 cm) long. The deep green leaves are speckled with small, white dots and have slightly wavy edges, whereas the new rhizome growth has a lovely red hue. Expect this slow-growing bucephalandra to reach about 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) in height.
100% Free of Pests
Tissue culture plants are "lab-grown" at the farms by taking a tissue sample from an existing plant and growing it in a sterile nutrient medium. While tissue culture plants tend to be smaller and more expensive than potted plants, they are 100% free of snails, algae, and duckweed.
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
This buce came in a very healthy clump. I love the little leaves and dark color.

Good first experience with tissue culture plant
This was my first tissue culture plant from any store. It arrived as a compact, densely grown ball of buce in a liquid medium that probably started as a gel before the warm weather and UPS got to it. Plant was bright green and appeared healthy. I carefully broke the plant ball apart into 3 smaller clumps and found that many inner leaves were melting from growing in such tight quarters--I rinsed the plants and tucked the clumps into rock/wood crevices with plenty of light, and so far they appear to be adjusting well. Much more melt than I normally experience with potted plants, but also much healthier tissue culture plants than I usually see in stores. Great way to obtain different varieties of buce from a sustainable source!

Beautiful healthy plant!
I attached it to dragon stone and driftwood. It never melted; or, if it did, it was minimal and I hardly noticed. New leaves were sprouting within 2-3 weeks! I’m very satisfied, as always, with Aquarium Co-Op products!
