Bucephalandra ‘Dark Velvet’ is a premium, slow-growing rhizome plant prized for its deep, velvety foliage and subtle metallic sheen. Under the right lighting, its dark green to near-black leaves reveal hints of blue or purple iridescence, adding dramatic contrast to any aquascape.
Compact and elegant, this variety is perfect for attaching to driftwood or stone, where it develops a dense, sculpted appearance over time.
