Discovered along the vibrant, shaded riverbanks of Borneo, Indonesia, this premium variety is celebrated for its majestic, iridescent blue-sheen foliage. While it commands attention as a collector’s item, it has quickly won over hobbyists due to its minimal upkeep demands and exceptionally straightforward care. This adaptable species makes a striking statement in the foreground or mid-ground of your layout, anchoring beautifully to hardscape elements like lava rocks, driftwood, or custom tank decorations. True to its royal name, this standout plant showcases dense, richly saturated metallic-blue leaves that mature at just around 2\", making it an ideal choice for both nano setups and expansive aquascapes. It is easily propagated by simply cutting the rhizome and attaching it to another surface or rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,0,0\"\u003eRemarkably straightforward to cultivate and split;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\"\u003eRoyal iridescent blue-sheen growth pattern;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,2,0\"\u003eAdaptable rhizome secures to any hardscape;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,3,0\"\u003eOffers excellent hiding spots for dwarf shrimp and nano fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTank size (Minimum):\u003c\/b\u003e 10 Gal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/b\u003e Easy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/b\u003e 75-82\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePH:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.8-7.8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCO2:\u003c\/b\u003e Not required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/b\u003e Low-Moderate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelated Blogs: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/bucephalandra-master-care-guide-unlocking-the-secrets-of-borneo-s-royal-plant\" title=\"bucephalandra master care guide\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"bucephalandra master care guide\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBucephalandra Master Care Guide\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/how-to-use-aquarium-glue-to-secure-epiphytes-to-hardscape\" title=\"How to Use Aquarium Glue to Secure Epiphytes to Hardscape\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"How to Use Aquarium Glue to Secure Epiphytes to Hardscape\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHow to Use Aquarium Glue to Secure Epiphytes to Hardscape\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(247, 2, 2);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISCLAIMER: It is the buyer's responsibility to know what plants are allowed\/legal to keep in his\/her state.
