{"product_id":"bucephalandra-theia-black-rare","title":"Bucephalandra Theia Black - Rare","description":"\u003cp\u003eBucephalandra ‘Theia Black’ is a striking, slow-growing aquatic plant prized for its exceptionally dark foliage. Its elongated, gently rippled leaves develop deep green, purple and nearly black tones, often enhanced by subtle metallic or bluish highlights under aquarium lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compact Bucephalandra variety is an excellent choice for attaching to driftwood, rock or other hardscape. Its rich coloration creates a dramatic contrast against lighter plants and makes it especially effective in detailed aquascapes, nano tanks and shrimp aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other Bucephalandra, Theia Black grows from a rhizome that must remain above the substrate. Secure the plant to hardscape using thread or aquarium-safe glue, and it will gradually attach itself as it grows. Although it can tolerate lower light, moderate lighting and stable water conditions will encourage its best colour and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foreground to midground; attach to rock or driftwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required, but beneficial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut or divide the rhizome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–28°C (68–82°F)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not bury the rhizome, as this may cause the plant to rot.
