Description

Bucephalandra motleyana "braun/rot - Narrow" was originally imported from the area around Serimbu, West Kalimantan, into the Netherlands, under the name Bucephalandra motleyana. It has been in cultivation since around 2004. B. motleyana "braun/rot - Narrow" differs from B. motleyana "braun/rot" by longer, more flexible leaves and a looser growth habit. It has a creeping rhizome. Young leaves are of a light brownish red to apricot colour, older leaves are slightly shiny and dark green to brown. This Bucephalandra variant grows comparatively fast. Under water it often flowers, forming a small pale pink spathe.

Like other Bucephalandra variants, "braun/rot - Narrow" can either be used as epiphytic plant for hardscape or be fixed on the substrate, e.g. with a small rock or a planting needle. Do not cover the rhizome, as it might rot. The roots will find their way into the substrate.
