"I have ordered a few things from Buce Plant and it has all been perfect. Love this company."
"The bulbs were in pretty rough shape with some type of black algea or slime on the leaves. After I rinsed them and put them in a quarantine tank, one bounced back well but the other is still struggling."
"I would always recommend buying bulbs or tubers from Buce. Arrives healthy, grows really well. Highly recommended."
"This plant looked good on delivery, however I experienced a disaster during tank set up and I thought I killed this thing. I popped it back into the substrate and WOW it came back. Thinking about buying a second one since it looks so good"
"Perfect condition! Bulb was firm and is currently sprouting for me!"
"Looks good. Thank you for helping with shipping too."
"Already had sprouts"
"This came in pretty banged up from shipping, but the bulb was good, and it has been making a strong and quick recovery since I got it in my tank."
"Shipping was a little rough. By the time I got it, all the stems had broken off the bulb. I've planted it and now just waiting. Package looked to be prepared very well. Bulb looked very healthy."
"I was worried about getting it at first, however I think it looks perfect in my tank. Very happy with it."
