About

Bucephalandra 'Kedagang' is a highly prized and iconic cultivar in the botanical and aquascaping hobbies. It is characterized by its small, narrow, lanceolate leaves with strongly ruffled margins. The upper leaf surfaces are incredibly dark — almost blue-black to deep olive green — with a striking metallic iridescence and covered in tiny, fine silver speckles. The leaf undersides and creeping rhizomes are reddish-purple. It is a slow-growing rheophyte that thrives submerged or emersed in high humidity, anchoring itself firmly to rocks or wood via its tough root system.
