Bucephalandra APF Platinum Ultra-Rare Albino Buce with Platinum Foliage

Vitro Culture | Small 1oz Cup | U.S. Exclusive by Aquarium Plants Factory

Bucephalandra APF Platinum is an ultra-rare albino variant of Bucephalandra, developed and introduced exclusively by Aquarium Plants Factory in the United States. Unlike any other Buce in the hobby, this luminous cultivar features shimmering platinum-white foliage that reflects light with an ethereal glowcreating a visual centerpiece that feels almost supernatural.

What sets APF Platinum apart is its complete lack of chlorophyll, which gives it its ghostly color and elevates it to true collector status. Highly sensitive to light, water quality, and nutrients, this plant thrives only in carefully balanced, high-tech environments with strong lighting and consistent CO.
