Kedagang is one of the earliest discovered Bucephalandra and still considered as one of the most beautiful variety. It is medium-sized. It is characterized by slightly wavy leaves of incredible colors. Red core of plant contrasts well with a dark blue color of older leaves. Young leaves are yelowish, with a red tint. Over time, the leaves become darker to give a dark blue sheen. The variety known to be one of the faster growing.
It is one of the oldest Bucephalandra. It has that name because on the leaves many shining dots are highly deployed, and thus leaves look gray. This variety can not to be confused with any other, but it is similar to Dark Grey. Its leaves are much smaller than a Dark Grey's leaves and they are brighter.
This variation looks similar to Pearl Grey, but its leaves are bigger and darker. In my opinion it looks nicer. Old leaves can be realy big. Its leaves are also similar to Semadang's leaves but Dark Grey leaves are more elastic and green color is not so dark/bluish as on Semadang's leaves.
Its oblong and wavy at the edges leaves look interesting. Leaves are very narrow, only 4-5 mm in width. One of my oldest Bucephalandra.
I do not know why in that name the word "Red" is. I guess it's about red bottoms of the leaf. Leaves of Red Gaia are only green, but the bright green shining looks very nice. It is low and creeping specimen.
