Plant Profile

Common Name: Bucephalandra Green Wavy on Driftwood

Buce ‘Green Wavy’ on Driftwood is a beginner-friendly, low-tech aquarium plant featuring bright green ruffled leaves that develop a dense, bushy appearance. This variety is highly prized for its tendency to branch naturally and its subtle iridescent sheen when placed under high-quality LED lighting. For your convenience, this plant is already attached to a natural piece of driftwood, allowing you to place it directly into your layout without the need for additional prep. It is a perfect "instant" solution for the foreground or midground of freshwater aquascapes, where its slow-growing rhizomes will gradually expand to cover the wood in a lush, textured colony.

Key Features & Notes

  • This piece is pre-attached to natural driftwood, making it the easiest way to add high-end aesthetics to your planted tank without using glue or thread.
  • ‘Green Wavy’ is renowned for its ability to branch out without frequent trimming, quickly developing a full and bushy appearance.
  • This is one of the most durable aquarium plants in the hobby and thrives in low-to-medium light conditions.
  • The intricate wood and leaf surfaces provide a perfect environment for natural biofilm to develop, creating a constant grazing station for dwarf shrimp.

Care Tips & Preparation

  • Bucephalandra is an epiphytic plant that should be attached to rocks or driftwood. Never bury the rhizome in substrate, as this will cause the plant to rot and melt.
  • Avoid making drastic changes to your water parameters or lighting. Unstable conditions are the primary cause of leaf melt in new specimens.
  • While this plant is hardy and low-maintenance, CO2 injection will yield much faster growth. We recommend researching your specific water chemistry to ensure your plant thrives.
  • Final size and coloration depend entirely on your specific aquarium conditions. Please note that photos are a representation, and individual plants may vary.
  • Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

"Lovely beautiful healthy plant."

"A decent sized piece of buce on top of driftwood. Plant was very healthy with many many leaves."

— Russell (5/5)

No effort & super good looks

"i LOVE plants glued to driftwood. I'm new to aquascaping and still clumsy about leaving glue marks. It's great to purchase a pre-made piece that fits just right in a needy place and looks healthy & green & is Buceplant quality. This particular piece makes the rest of my aquascaping efforts look 100% better with no effort. Will buy again, definitely, for my next tank."

— Deborah S. (5/5)

Good healthy specimens that adapted well

"Plants were well packed and arrived quickly. On arrival noted their color was good, leaves and stems nice & firm, no signs of deterioration and no tag along pests like snails seen. Expect they will do well in my tanks."

— Pat K. (5/5)

Nice little setup on driftwood.

"Nice little setup on driftwood. Came a little small but is growing quite well tucked under my spiderwood. My ghost shrimp seem to like it as well!"

— Nick P. (5/5)

Arrived in good shape, but

"Arrived in good shape, but while I was at work. It was in the 50s when I got home, so I soaked the plants in lukewarm water before adding to the tank. They look great!"

— Wendy M. (5/5)

Didn’t arrive healthy

"After one week it completely melted. All the other plants I purchased are fine. It came slightly melted and I should have just said it was DOA"

Q&A

Is 78–81 degrees fahrenheit to warm for Bucephalandra species? Are there types of Bucephalandra that do better in warmer temps?
Hi David, Thank you for your question! A temperature range of 78-81 degrees Fahrenheit is slightly on the warmer side for Bucephalandra species. Some species that do better in warm weather include Bucephalandra Wavy Green and Bucephalandra Mini Coin. Best regards, Team Buce Plant
