Bucephalandra Kishii (Dark Skeleton King)

Bucephalandra Kishii, often referred to as "Dark Skeleton King," is a striking and highly sought-after species of Bucephalandra known for its unique appearance and hardiness in aquariums. This plant is native to Borneo and belongs to the Araceae family. It features thick, leathery leaves that are dark green to almost black in coloration, often with a slight metallic sheen. The leaves are typically elongated and grow in dense clusters from a rhizome, creating a lush and compact appearance in the aquarium.

Care Tips
- Provide low to moderate lighting to maintain healthy growth and prevent algae buildup on the leaves.
- Maintain water temperatures between 22-28°C (72-82°F).
- Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH range of 6.0-7.5.
- Attach the rhizome to rocks or driftwood using fishing line or cotton thread; avoid burying it in substrate to prevent rhizome rot.
- Use a nutrient-rich substrate or supplement with root tabs to provide essential nutrients.
- CO2 supplementation is beneficial for promoting growth and enhancing coloration, though not strictly necessary.
