When will we see Bucephalandra?

**Crispino Labayen Ramos** · 07-02-2012, 08:59 PM

I have begun an emersed set up for most of my collection of Bucephalandra and other aroid species.

My favorite Bucephalandra from Melawi:

Are these Bucephalandra sp. Belindae? The leaves are only 3-4cm in length.

Another blue leafed Bucephalandra is Kualakuayan Type 2, the blue color has a metallic sheen to it. .

@ramos, the submersed leaves turning to green?

They're metallic blue grown submersed since last February.

Bucephalandra 'belindae' have much narrower leaves than these specimens. Beautiful plants by the way.

So to get back to you guys about TC buces...I was never able to get a good aseptic start with these guys without killing the tissue itself. I may try again in the future but since I have school I can't do anymore experiments.

You probably need a laminar flow hood, some petridishes, 70% alcohol or 10% bleach solution, an autoclave, a thermostat oven, a greenhouse, and a box of medical graded glove to start

**Jeffww** · 01-31-2013, 12:54 PM

Those things arent necessary. My issue was that i could never get the explant sterile without killing it.

Our latest collection ...

I believe this is one of the most wanted Bucephalandra. In rare cases, the adapted submersed leaves can have a bright red coloration. They come from Hulu Kapuas.

The Japanese called them Brownie Red. For me, I'll name them based on the location, leaves colors and shape. Hulu Kapuas - Brown Wavy Leaves ...
