Please note: EpicAquatics is a wholesale only business, please use the store locator to find an appropriate retailer in your area.
All our plants are carefully selected and monitored to ensure quality products are supplied at affordable prices to retailers only. We have a strict policy of no end user sales. All the plants produced in our local greenhouses are grown emersed, meaning the plants are grown fully exposed to air. The roots and substrate are flooded with water, but there is no standing water above the stems and leaves
The reasons for this method of growing are below:
- Plants grown emersed ship better, they are shipped exposed to air just like they are grown
- No algae on the leaves, roots or stems
- Plants are much stronger and robust compared to submersed plants
Bucephalandra sp. kapuas hulu
This decorative, large and narrow-leaved Bucephalandra variant is produced in an Indonesian water plant nursery under the trading name "Kapuas Hulu", apparently referring to the Kapuas Hulu region in West Kalimantan. However its species belonging is unknown to us, but as well as all Bucephalandras, it originates from Borneo island, growing as a rheophyte (adapted to strong current) on rock in the flood zone of rainforest streams. Bucephalandra sp. "Kapuas Hulu" has oblanceolate, about 9 cm long, dark-green leaves with red-brown stalks on a strong rhizome.
Cryptocoryne undulatus ‘Red’
This red version of Cryptocoryne undulata grows wild in rivers of Sri Lanka. It is an easy plant, tolerant of very different conditions in an aquarium. Appearance of the plant will partially depend on these conditions. Low levels of light and nutrients will produce a relatively tall, greenish-brown plant of slow growth. Higher levels of light and nutrition, combined with added CO2, will make the plant grow considerably faster producing shorter leaves of a reddish-brown colour
Cryptocoryne wendtii
Cryptocoryne wendtii is one of the most popular, and widely available aquatic plants in the aquascaping hobby. It has several color variations, and it can be found in green, red and brown colors.

It is commonly found in streams and rivers throughout Sri Lanka, and it tends to grow in shaded areas.

Hygrophila difformis
Hygrophila difformis from Asia is beautiful and undemanding. Stems becomes 20-30 cm tall and 6-12 cm wide. A plant for beginners which can help create a balance in the aquarium from the start. Its rapid growth helps prevent algae because the plant absorbs a great number of nutrients from the water. The shortage of micronutrients leads to pale leaves, which may be an indication that the aquarium needs fertiliser. In large aquariums its lobed leaves can create a distinctive group.
