Bucephalandra "Metallic Black" is a stunning and rare variety of the Bucephalandra genus, celebrated for its deep, dark foliage and mesmerizing metallic sheen. It adds a dramatic and luxurious touch to any aquarium setup, making it a favorite among aquascaping enthusiasts and collectors.


Key Features

  1. Coloration:

    • The leaves are an intense dark green to nearly black, with a metallic sheen that can shift between blue, purple, or silver tones depending on the light.
    • The metallic finish gives the plant an almost otherworldly appearance.
  2. Leaf Shape and Texture:

    • Leaves are narrow, elongated, and slightly wavy.
    • The surface is smooth, glossy, and velvety, enhancing its reflective qualities.
  3. Size:

    • Compact and slow-growing, making it perfect for nano tanks or as a midground/foreground plant in larger aquariums.
  4. Growth Rate:

    • Grows very slowly, characteristic of Bucephalandra, making it low-maintenance.

Care Requirements

  1. Lighting:

    • Low to moderate light is sufficient. High-intensity lighting can intensify the metallic sheen but may increase the risk of algae.
  2. Water Parameters:

    • pH: 5.5–7.5
    • Temperature: 22–28°C (72–82°F)
    • Thrives in soft to moderately hard water.
  3. CO₂ and Nutrients:

    • CO₂ supplementation is beneficial but not essential. It can enhance the plant’s growth rate and coloration.
    • Regular fertilization with liquid fertilizers or root tabs is recommended for optimal health.
  4. Substrate and Placement:

    • Best attached to hardscape elements like driftwood or rocks. Avoid burying the rhizome to prevent rot.

Propagation

  • Rhizome Division: Propagation is achieved by cutting the rhizome into sections, ensuring that each piece has at least 2–3 healthy leaves.
  • Secure the new sections to hardscape to encourage regrowth.

Offers Complete Privacy
Color: Black, Size: 132in-Large Metal Base
We tried others that were nice but this particular room divider adds total privacy. We were looking for that. Easy to assemble. There is no gap if you position each petition close enough. The guality is very nice. Exactly what we were looking for.

Get help to mount on the wall!
sturdy, easy assembly, looks nice, but a bear to mount on wall by yourself. It is heavy and can be awkward to hold and drill holes as well. a template would have been nice and at the time i didn't think to make one. even then it can be tricky to find the hole you drilled in the wall. Also i recommend once mounted and if not in a stud to find a stud and drill a third hole with a longer screw to screw into a stud just to make sue it is sturdy. I mounted mine above the toilet in my bathroom and the crews are in sheet rock with plastic mounts. I drilled a hole though the cabinet brace and into a stud. Visions of it crashing onto my head while sitting there. LOL. a second person for install will longer the difficulty a lot.

Nice looking cabinet, fairy easy to put together
Once installed, this cabinet is amazing! Lots of room and love that it has doors to hide whatever it is you want to store in it, rather than just having open shelving. Assembly wasn't the easiest, but not the hardest either. Installing it took two people and I recommend putting the doors on after hanging it, otherwise you have to hold the doors open while trying to mount it to the wall. Seems to be very sturdy and the white stickers to hide the hardware is a nice touch.

worked perfect in bathroom
The Palimder Medicine Cabinet is a great space-saver! It’s stylish and functional, fitting perfectly in my bathroom. The adjustable shelves and towel rack are super convenient for organizing toiletries and towels. The black finish gives it a sleek, modern look. Easy to install and works well in any room needing extra storage. took about an hour to put together
