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).
