I find the nomenclature a little confusing.
bucephalandra brownie brown, what is it :- motleyana, lamandau, sekadau etc etc.
is it one of them or all of them
similarly buce super blue and nanga pinoh super blue, are they the same plant always or is there more to it.
please guide
warm regards to all

there are minor differences in the ways plants are named especially even more so for a new plant like bucep.
the way they are names are based on location, leaves, roots, rizhome, size, colours, flowers etc. so it is hard to pin point what is what too.
of course, not forgetting, trade name is 1 thing that addes to the tank of dyes. a same plants under 2 different supplier will potentially have 2 different names. but in fact they are the same thing.

of course, in many occassions, plants that arrived at your hand, their outcome varies with what you might have seen on photo due to many factors such as water parameters etc. thus, it actually makes bucephalandra all the more interesting as the main base colours of green, red, purple, blue, brown, orange, pink, gold etc. varies on different people's hands too.

hope this helps all in a little bit more into the world of bucephalandras

[AQMS]

[keithtang]

Tie some Bucephalandra

[armageddon]

Tie some Bucephalandra

thought about it too, but i want to get a land plant instead of an aquatic plant.

my buceps. still in emersed condition with some slowly turning submerged.

some close up shots.

a small clump of kir royale. previously had another bigger beautiful clump bought by another bro.. haha


2 white nana, 1 is tied, 1 is stuffed into a "clamp" shape grove on the DW


golden nana under DW


a new bucephalandra i trying out, bucephalandra centipede blood red. randomly took 1 centipede and found this small one, the current leaves showing excellent shine of blue, but realised new submerged leave that is coming out is pretty reddish thus trying this piece to see its development. still have stocks available.


of course, not forgetting the main star, Skeleton KING!!!! some call it dark SK, some call it black SK. realised a flower has poped out and new leaves are coming out.


bucephalandra belindae clump, this clump is pretty big and in execellent condition. can't count how many pieces in it, but i guess there is more than 10. using it to form a cover for the cave area between the DW and BW.


small clump bucephalandra penelope, still in emersed state. notice the algaes on it. This piece is like a more expensive golden nana petite. have another few stalks in submerged form in my own small tank that is showing gold colour. very beautiful.


bucephalandra CHILLI, found some "cracks" area in the middle from the "joints" of the rocks. decided to fill it up with some bucephalandra and went on to find the best small buceps i have. found some leftover bucephalandras chillis and used them to fill that small gap. can only see 1 stalk protruding out, but 3 other stalks are behind waiting to grow out of that crack.


the tradditional bucephalandra brownie ghost. selected a young brownie ghost clump to fill the big gap between the rocks. At the back just on top of it is a medium size bucephalandra bungan waiting to show its beauty in time to come.


bucephalandra rainbow frost. again, my style of using plants to "stuff cracks" and gaps to have a more complete feel. selected just 1 stalk from the clumps and clumps and clumps of rainbow frost. decide that less is more. balance and not overdoing is the key.


hair grass, need say anymore? ^_^""


blyxa japonica, you can notice the bucephalandra bungan at the left front side rocks.


green skeleton king! after i finished, realised the right side back of tank is extremely bare and lots of areas are wasted. thus took a small messy clump of green skeleton king out and placed it at the back to give it a more filling wild look.


ok, thats all for now, wish me good luck in this tank's development and hope to keep you all updated on their development.
happy CNY!
