Aquaflora Bucephalandra sp. 'Maia'

"Bucephalandra sp. 'Maia' or 'Maya' is a rare and somewhat obscure variety of the Bucephalandra genus that has yet to capture widespread attention in the aquatic plant community. This enchanting plant flourishes underwater, developing elongated, elliptical leaves that can transform into an array of striking colors, with shades ranging from deep, rich dark tones to warm, eye-catching copper red hues. 

The exact ecological niche where this particular form is found in Borneo remains largely a mystery, and as such, its taxonomic identity has not been fully established. This lack of information adds an element of intrigue for collectors and enthusiasts alike. 

The 'Maia' plants, like other bucephalandra species we have available, are cultivated through advanced tissue culture techniques, which not only ensures their robust growth and resilience but also guarantees healthy specimens free of pests and diseases. However, it's worth noting that these stunning plants are not sourced from their natural habitat, making them a unique find for aquarists looking to enhance their underwater landscapes with a rare addition."
