Initially grown from 3 stalks and a year later. The same plants taken out of water.


The colours are darker out of water


Beautiful specimen. Dark coloration of the purple variant

[sateman]

Hi Sateman, i think your has finally converted to submerse. Nevertheless, can see that your lamandau green has grown into a nice cluster. How long you have it in the tank?

About a year plus. I'm very happy with it...

Wow, about a year and how long did it take to start flowering? I just started about less than a month. Can see new leaves growing but no flowers yet.

By the way, I have another video of my blue centipede to share. It is sending out stream of bubbles about every 15 seconds. http://youtu.be/vr79hN5Aeek

flower may be 1 years 1 flower but you can make many flower with fertilizer fospor, may be you can try it,,

Mine started flowering about few months after introduction. For me very minimal fertilisation and at times I delayed changing my DIY CO2 when it ran out.
Now it flowers continuously.

Nice, will wait patiently for them to grow and flower. I am ok if there is no flower as long as they are healthy, I am contented.

2 more beautiful Bucephalandra. The Bucephalandra Kedagang mini the leaf are small and when they grow into a cluster like our Anubias barteri 'Petite', it will be beutiful. For those who like Anubias barteri 'Petite' will surely love this even more as their color are much better. Thanks for viewing. Hope you will like it.

Some updates on my bucephalandra:

Sorry for the large pictures as they were taken from my iphone and uploaded directly to photobucket.

Blue centipede has grown submersed leafs. I have trim off 2/3 of the emersed leaf.
Before:


After:



Lamandau Purple is flowering!
Before


After



Unfortunately, my Alamanda Dark has dropped all its leafs and the rhizome has turned brown. I am trying to revive it and has trim off a little bit of its rhizome. Hope it will grow back again.

[soltari007]

Nice update! I always enjoy seeing the submersed leaves contrast against the emersed ones

[kohanson]

Yeah. The blue centipede was badly damaged as I used a dishwasher scrub to scrub off the brown algae on the all the leafs. All the leafs were hurt during the process and start to rot off. The plant was bought on 7 July and I am happy to see so many new leafs!

algae best left to algae crew to settle than to manual scrub them. golden algae eaters and otos are good for clearing these algaes.

[soltari007]

yeah that happens, you can try using vasteq's method of diluting citric acid before treating the plant leaves. scrub sounds like it's too rough for the leaves to handle without damage.

my black centi is growing similarly to yours, i plucked out most of the emersed leaves to let the submersed leaves grow faster

[kohanson]

Thanks for the tips bro. Will take note for future plants which I purchase. They grow really fast if the rhizomes are still healthy.
