Care & Planting Instructions
- Prep the plant by removing it from the pot and clearing all rockwool from the roots.
- Attach to hardscape using aquarium-safe glue or thread; keep the rhizome above substrate to prevent rot.
- Maintain stable conditions to support smooth acclimation and reduce leaf loss.
- Avoid intense light and ensure good water flow to prevent spot algae on slow-growing leaves.
- CO₂ is optional but improves growth speed, leaf density, and color intensity.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I plant the varieties in the Potted Buce Starter Pack?
Remove each plant from its pot and gently clear away the rockwool matrix. Attach the individual plants directly to driftwood or rocks using aquarium-safe super glue gel, thread, or fishing line. Always keep the horizontal rhizomes above the substrate to prevent rotting.
2. Can I request specific Bucephalandra varieties in my pack?
Because packs are curated based on current greenhouse inventory to guarantee maximum health and freshness, we are unable to accept requests for specific species. However, every pack is guaranteed to include at least 5 distinct, high-quality Bucephalandra types.
3. Are the plants in this pack safe for shrimp and fish?
Yes, all species included in the Potted Buce Starter Pack are 100% safe for all freshwater fish, shrimp (including sensitive Caridina and Neocaridina), and snails. Their tough leaf structures also make them resistant to plant-eating fish like cichlids or goldfish.
