Tiny But Mighty
Buce thrives in small nano setups and serves as a delicate focal point in big aquariums because of its compact size that works everywhere. The Bucephalandra plant serves as the ultimate finishing element to complete your underwater display!
How to Care for Your Bucephalandra
Lighting:
Buce prefers low to medium light. Algae outbreaks may occur with excessive lighting so maintain a low to medium illumination level.
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 22-28°C (72-82°F)
pH: 5.5-7.5
Bucephalandra thrives best in water that ranges from soft to moderately hard.
Placement:
This epiphyte thrives on being affixed to hard surfaces such as rocks and driftwood as well as aquarium decorations. Avoid burying Bucephalandra rhizomes since they dislike being surrounded by soil.
Feeding:
Buce can get necessary nutrients from water but grows best when provided with occasional fertilizer. Running a CO2 setup with your plant earns bonus points for boosting growth and vibrancy.
Maintenance:
Buce requires infrequent trimming because of its slow growth rate. Just sit back and enjoy the ride!
