Bucephalandra Black Pearl
Bucephalandra 'Black Pearl' is one of the darkest buces around, with near-black, finely textured leaves that catch a blue-green shimmer under light and often speckle with tiny white dots. Attach the rhizome to hardscape and never bury it, and this slow-grower will thrive in low to moderate light with almost no maintenance. A jewel-like accent tucked into driftwood or stone.
Care level: Easy-Moderate · Placement: Epiphyte (on wood/rock) · Lighting: Low-Medium · CO2: Not required · Growth rate: Slow · Propagation: rhizome division
