Common Name: Bucephalandra Brownie Phoenix Brown

Buce Brownie Phoenix Brown is a beautiful aquarium plant belonging to the Bucephalandra genus. Perfect for beginners, it features deep color tones and small to medium rounded leaves. Like other species of Buce, it can be grown submerged or immersed in terrarium-like setups. When kept submerged, this aquarium plant is very slow-growing and will sprout new leaves from its thin long rhizomes. It can be propagated by cutting the rhizome and replanting. Bucephalandra does best when attached to aquarium driftwood and rocks using super glue gel or thread and under low to medium aquarium lighting. Keeping this species of Buce in a tank with Co2 will help yield quicker growth and varying color tones that are highly-coveted when growing Buce.
