General information about the Bucephalandra brownie Ghost Ulu Kapus

Straight from the forests of Borneo and now chilling on your lava rock: this Buce is a mood-setter with character. The leaves have that typical "Brownie" vibe – dark, glossy, and sometimes with a subtle purple shimmer in the right light. By mounting it on rough lava rock , the plant attaches securely and blends effortlessly into your hardscape. Just like with Anubias, the rhizome remains free – so don't bury it in the substrate; that's for grass, not Buce 😉

Why you want it (and your aquarium too)

  • Ready-made on lava rock – just like our Anubias: unpack, place, and you're done. (The rhizome stays neatly on top!)
  • Dark, chic leaves with a metallic sheen: from deep dark green to almost black, sometimes with a purple "ghost" tint.
  • Compact grower – ideal for nanos, shady spots, and detailed work in your hardscape.
  • Easy care – not a diva. Undemanding, it grows steadily on wood or stone.
  • Ideal for aquariums and paludariums – a multifunctional talent.
  • Nice hiding place for shrimps and small fish.

Care & placement

  • Light: Low to medium. Bright light is fine, but gradually increase the light (shine and more compact growth).
  • CO2 : optional. With CO2 and stable readings, it looks even better.
  • Water: soft to medium hard; keep it stable .
  • Flow: light current is appreciated (Borneo vibes 🌧️).
  • Feeding: Micros in the water are sufficient; no heavy rooting tabs needed.
  • Placement:
  • Pruning: gently prune with scissors; you can divide shoots to spread.

Place theBucephalandra Brownie Ghost Ulu Kapus(onblack lava stone) in thefront to middle zone, preferably in ashady spotunder wood or stone where it can shine beautifully.

Take care oflight currentso that fresh nutrients move along the leaves, but do not place it directly in front of the filter outlet.

Do not bury the rhizome (it already sits perfectly on the lava rock), simply clamp it firmly into your hardscape and you're done.

Tip: Start with moderate light and build up slowly to avoid algae – buce will then grow beautifully shiny!

Pruning theBucephalandra Brownie Ghost Ulu Kapusactually works the same as with an Anubias.

With sharp scissors, trim away any older or unsightly leaves so the plant can focus on fresh new growth. Do you see any suckers? You can remove them and replant them to encourage more Buce in your tank.

In addition, you canrhizomeYou can also divide it yourself: you can carefully cut it every 4 cm. Make sure each piece has at least a few leaves so the plant can continue to grow.

Be careful not to bury the rhizome in the substrate; it will simply remain on top of the lava rock. This way, you'll keep the plant healthy and compact, and you can easily propagate it.
