1. How do I plant the Bucephalandra in the Team Buce Plant Starter Pack?
Bucephalandra plants are epiphytes that naturally attach to hardscape. Secure each plant directly to driftwood, lava rock, or aquarium decor using small dabs of gel-based superglue or cotton thread. Never bury the horizontal rhizome under substrate, as covering it will cause the plant to rot.
2. Is the Buce Starter Pack a good choice for beginners?
Yes! Bucephalandra is one of the easiest aquarium plants for beginners. It thrives in low-tech aquariums without pressurized CO2, tolerates basic LED lighting, and draws nutrients directly from the water column rather than requiring specialized aquasoil.
3. What is the difference between the Plant Package and the Mini Clump Package?
The Plant Package includes five individual loose plants (each with 10+ leaves), making it ideal for smaller tanks (5+ gallons). The Mini Clump Package includes five denser clusters (each made of 3 to 5 plants connected together), providing instant fullness for medium to large aquariums (20+ gallons).
4. Can I request specific species to be included in my starter pack?
Because starter packs are curated based on current greenhouse inventory to guarantee maximum health and freshness, we are unable to fulfill requests for specific varieties. However, every pack is guaranteed to include five distinct, healthy Bucephalandra types.

"Always the best plants and accessories. I began my DSM on March 26 with Monte Carlo and Mini Hairgrass planted in Controsoil from Buce. Fast forward to May 26, I flooded the tank, and since then I've added plants from another aquarium along with more Buce plants. I moved over my spawning corys, and they immediately started spawning again and have continued for weeks. I've taken the whole process slowly, but the quality of the plants and the generous portions I receive always impress me and keep me coming back. Highly recommended for anyone serious about planted aquariums."
