Bucephalandra sp. Filiformis has narrow, pointed and stiff leaves with slightly wavy to smooth edges. The leaves are dark green on top and reddish-brown underneath. The leaves can grow up to 10 cm long and have short petioles. The plant likes to grow on a piece of wood, stone or other decoration. It can also be placed on the bottom, but make sure that the rhizome remains above the gravel/sand, otherwise the plant will die. The Filiformis is also called Bucephalandra 'Rosmarin' ('Rosemary') because its leaves resemble rosemary.
