‘Needle Leaf’ is an extremely slow growing and often recommended plant for ornamental Aquascaping. As with all Bucephalandra species, it is very easy to care for. Inserting small algae cleaners in your tank, such as Amano shrimp or Clithon snails, is recommended.
This ‘Needle Leaf has a new botanical assignment and thus a new name. It belongs to the group of small stature species with linear and curled leaves such as B. belindae, B. catherineae and B. mircantha.
The invitro cultivation of plants means, that individual cells or plant parts are cultivated on nutrient media under sterile, laboratory conditions. By adding certain growth regulators such as phytohormones, new and intact plants can be generated from small pieces and even cells.
