USEFUL INFO:

Aquarzon will pack the plants very carefully to ensure it is safely delivered to you. We use 5-6 layers of protection, which provide comprehensive protection (locks moisture, provides physical protection and temperature insulation).

When transitioning to your aquarium, which is a new environment for it, it is very normal for a Bucephalandra clump to have a bit of melting on some leaves. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.  The clump is currently submersed with CO2 with GH at around 5 and KH at around 3. When aquarium conditions differ (especially if the plant is being moved into a tank with different water parameters, lighting levels, or a low-tech tank without CO2 addition), the Bucephalandra needs to transition and adapt to its new environment. During the process, it can shed some leaves. To put it into perspective, a high-tech tank usually has CO2 at around 30ppm. But in a low-tech tank, the natural CO2 availability (dissolving into the water from the air) is usually at just around 1-3ppm. This is a difference of 10-30 times. So this is one example of why it needs to adapt itself to its new environment, during which the adaptation/transitioning process (which usually takes a few weeks), it is normal for it to shed some leaves, etc.

As long as it receives sufficient lighting and nutrients in a cycled tank, its rhizomes, which are an integral part of a Bucephalandra, will remain strong, and the Bucephalandra will grow new leaves steadily, which are fully adapted to your aquarium's conditions and water parameters.

While Bucephalandra is suitable for low-tech tanks, it is always best to ensure it receives sufficient light and nutrients. Nutrients can be supplied through liquid fertilisers.
