This lovely buce plant has very unique, wavy leaves and is a perfect plant for the nano aquarium!

Green Wavy Buce Plant (Bucephalandra sp. “Green Wavy”) is a variant of the extremely popular Bucephalandra group. This particular Buce plant is known for its ruffled, bright green leaves. It is a very hardy plant that can be grown emersed or submerged in the aquarium, terrarium, and paludarium.  It requires only low to moderate lighting and can thrive in a variety of water parameters. With proper care, Green Wavy Buce Plant will grow at a slow to moderate rate. The care of Buce plants is similar to Anubias and Cryptocoryne species. Also, like Anubias, Buce plants are rhizome plants that attach to and grow on hard surfaces. Ther attach particularly well to rocks, but can also grow very well on driftwood and other surfaces. If planted on the substrate, Buce plants should be only partially embedded in the substrate with the rhizome exposed. If the rhizome is buried, it is prone to rot.

In addition to its attractive appearance, Green Wavy Buce Plant provides a valuable refuge for aquarium animals, especially dwarf shrimp, nano fish, and fry.  With proper care, Green Wavy Buce Plant can easily flourish and grow to become a major centerpiece of the planted aquarium!

Like most plants, Green Wavy Buce Plant will benefit from supplementation such as Seachem Flourish, Flourish Excel, Nitrogen and other plant supplements.  However, supplementation is not required for this plant to grow and stay healthy. Buce plants generally show their most intense coloration and optimal growth when submerged with high lighting and stable, consistent fertilization. Drastic changes in fertilization can result in gradual leaf loss, although the plant rhizome will typically recover in time.

No aquarium plant distributor/nursery/wholesaler/retailer can or will guarantee their plants to be 100% snail free. We can not guarantee our plants will be snail free.
