Bucephalandra ‘Maia’ – Live Aquarium Plant (Potted)

Bucephalandra ‘Maia’ is an attractive and compact Buce variety known for its textured leaves and rich green to darker tones, which can show subtle colour shifts depending on lighting and water conditions. Its slow growth and tidy size make it ideal for nano aquariums, shrimp tanks, and detailed aquascapes.

Like all Bucephalandra, it grows best attached to hardscape and prefers stable conditions, making it a great choice for low-tech aquariums and aquascapers who value detail and quality.

This listing is for one healthy, potted Bucephalandra ‘Maia’.
