    Sawasdee krub , Hello From Thailand

    Since there are few merchants here in Thailand and due to the very limited source of knowledge, I hope I could find the more knowledge here

    Does anyone know what is the different between these plant ;

    1.) Bucephalandra Brownie Red
    2.) Bucephalandra Sherry
    3.) Bucephalandra Red Shery
    4.) Bucephalandra Mirabelle


    I kind of confusing here because it seem not much of a different to me.

    and one last question ; what is "SP" stands for?


    Thank you in advance, and may the plants you have grow bigger every day !

    PS: to me the Skeleton king and achilles again, looks the same and is difference in the type of color which is dark green or normally green. I'm not sure is this going apply to the question much much above.

    Re: Bucephalandra Club

    Hi K99,

    I might not be the best to answer your querries. But i will try to answer you here.

    Part 1 to your question
    why we put "sp" as there no scientific name to all these bucephalandra name. All are trade name given by supplier and seller who try to increase their sales.
    Most bucephalandra are found growing on land and occasiionally submerse during raining season. You dont find them growing totally submerse.

    Bucephalandra sp. brownie red is firstly named by NK. He start off the brownie series.
    Whereas the Bucephalandra sp. sherry/red sherry/mirabelle is named created by a supplier from indonesia.

    With over 250-450 named created so far by all sort of supplier and seller. The name for the bucephalandra has reach a level of unbelievable.
    It difficult for hobbyist to know if what they brought match to the trade name? You have to buy from right source to prevent buying wrong variant which you prefer. If you like it while seeing it in the tank in LFS then it ok. You buy what you see and not for the name.

    Part 2 to your question
    Bucephalandra sp achillies is first found by NK and later the indonesia also want to sell this variant and they name it as Bucephalandra sp. Skeleton King. They are same plant.
    This bucephalandra found growing on stone and out of water. They most beautiful grow emmerse.

    Re: Bucephalandra Club

    Hi all, introducing the true Bucephalandra sp. Black Gaia (NK)
    This variant trade name is given by NK when he first found it. There another 2 variant under this gaia group, that is the Bucephalandra sp. Red Gaia and Bucephalandra sp. Blue Gaia


    Yes it not black in color but due to the previous 2 named with blue and red and this is dark color.
    The leaf is long and with slight wavy.

    Re: Bucephalandra Club


    Bucephalandra sp. mini black , this is not Buce Belindae as they have check the flower and does not match to belindae. No proper name given as it not able to be yet. It might be a look alike as what most bucephalandra are. Beautiful variant with wavy leaf and small plant suitable for those who love small little plant.

    Common trade name use by seller, Buce. sp catherineae mini, Buce sp. belindae.

    Re: Bucephalandra Club

    Calling claims to first discovery will only lead to verbal war. Let us just enjoy this beautiful plant and hobby. If neccessary, things can be taken offline. Enjoy.

    Re: Bucephalandra Club

    Hi guys ,
    Just want to find out from the bros here about this plant care , does it require high light and co2 ? Can I use them in a low tech setup without co2 ?
    It's quite an expensive plant , just wonder if it's easy to care for before I purchase .
    Cheers

    Re: Bucephalandra Club

    Hi ichise, I not sure how to address you as you did not sign off with a name.

    But i will try to answer your queries from my limited knowledge.

    1. Price! Price of Bucephalandra has drop to all time low globally. Why? I will not guess here. But it sure dropping.
    But buy the correct variant according to your preference. Go for those has already converted into submerse form, else you are buying base on "he said so"

    2. Does bucephalandra need co2 or high light?
    Some prefer good light to induce color, some prefer low light to induce the dark color. And they need iron to give you the reddish color but some said no need.
    Some has manage to grow it without co2, some has fail without co2. In my view they do not need high light. medium lighting is enough.

    You should try 1 variant and see if it suite you. else you might not want waste money on it. hope you will enjoy the fun. Thanks

    different people diff exp. basing on their natural area, they tend to grow on rocks more.
    however my exp is wood seems to do better for them. although there are some hunters whom feedbacks that they do better on black lav rocks.
    everybody have different experiences and i believe your tank specs plays an important role on their well being too as well as which will they prefer at the end.
