Bucephalandra Metallic Chilli Care Guide
Caring for this plant is simple when you follow a few basics:
- Planting: Attach it to rock or driftwood with thread or aquascape glue. Do not bury the rhizome in sand or soil, because it can rot.
- Light: Medium light is enough. Too much light can trigger algae on the leaves, while the right amount helps the metallic sheen show better.
- Water: Use clean, stable water. It prefers temperatures of about 22–28°C (72–82°F) and dislikes sudden changes in water conditions.
- Nutrients: Add a light dose of liquid aquarium fertilizer. CO2 is optional but can support growth.
- Adjustment: Old leaves may melt after the plant is moved. This is normal, and new leaves will grow once it settles in.
