Bucephalandra Brownie Phoenix is a beginner-friendly aquarium plant admired for its unique coloration and versatility. This slow-growing species thrives in both aquariums and terrarium setups with high humidity, making it a flexible choice for aquascapers. Its compact growth and striking colors are best achieved with CO₂ injection, moderate lighting, and regular fertilization.
As an epiphytic plant, Brownie Phoenix should be attached to driftwood or rocks rather than buried in substrate. New shoots emerge from the rhizome, gradually expanding into a lush display. Because of its slower growth, algae may accumulate on leaves, so placement in slightly shaded areas is recommended.
Delivered as a clean, pest-free tissue culture, this plant ensures a healthy start for your aquascape. Be sure to rinse away all tissue culture gel before planting, and maintain stable water parameters for long-term success.

To minimize shipping delays we only ship live plants on Monday and Tuesday. Plant orders placed on Tuesday or later will ship the following week.
If your local area had extreme heat or cold we recommend having your mail held at the post office on the day of arrival. This is free and can be done online or at the post office. That way your plants stay indoors until you pick them up to protect them from the elements.
We do our best to remove any visible hitch hikers from your plants before we ship but it is impossible to be 100% sure that we get everything. If you're concerned about getting any potential hitch hikers we recommend rinsing your plants before adding them to your pond or aquarium.
