Plant Profile

Common Name: Bucephalandra Green Godzilla

Buce ‘Green Godzilla’ is a beginner-friendly, low-tech aquarium plant featuring elongated and textured green wavy leaves that are significantly longer than most Buce varieties. This variety is highly prized for its dark green, rounded foliage that provides a rugged and wild aesthetic to any layout. It's perfect for the midground of freshwater aquascapes, where its impressive leaf length and slow-growing rhizomes create a dense, textured colony over time. Grow it emersed or submerged and attach it to hardscape for best results.

Key Features & Notes

  • The elongated nature of the foliage makes it a fantastic bridge between smaller Buce species and larger Anubias, adding unique vertical interest.
  • Its heavily ruffled margins and textured surface catch the light and provide great visual detail in the midground of your aquascape.
  • This is one of the most durable species in the hobby and thrives in shaded areas. It is an ideal choice for aquascapes where other plants might struggle.
  • It is perfectly at home fully submerged in an aquarium or emersed in high-humidity terrariums, vivariums, and paludariums.

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.

Godzilla

"It looks great when I pulled it out of the package and after I saw it in the tank. Any type of Buce I always have the best luck with Buce Plant."

Nicholas J. (5/5)

Beautiful!

"It came healthy and lush, I got 4 plants in one pot. Makes my tank look very jungle-y, LOVE IT"

CORRINA P. (5/5)

Great both on water and on land

"This is a great little plant that can be added to any “arium”…aquarium, terrarium, palladium, or vivarium. I grow it both immersed and emerged as an epiphyte."

Marcquis K. (5/5)

Go Go Godzilla

"My plants came in beautiful shape. They were packaged well and no unexpected guests among the leaves or roots. I did pay extra for insulated packaging and a heat pack since I knew traveling temperatures could be risky. They look fabulous in the nooks and crannies of my spiderwood!"

Rachel B. (5/5)

Beautiful plant.

"They arrived pretty quick and healthy on the most part some leaves were melting but hopefully it comes back soon after putting in good fertilized water."

Green Godzilla

"Plant was in good health. I was able to separate it into 3 good sized pieces. I’m excited to watch it grow. I like the large leafed buce species."

Brian F. (5/5)

This was my favorite of all my purchases.

"I got enough of it to split it into 2 pots and was so impressed with the vitality of the plants I received. Highly recommended."

Joe K. (5/5)

My Kids Love This BUCE!

"The Green Godzilla variety is as stunning as its name: its thick, wavy dark-green leaves truly resemble Godzilla’s rugged scales, which my sons confirmed when they held their toy Godzilla next to it! Really brings the aquarium a reptilian look. 🫡"

Harold F. (5/5)

Best looking Buce out there.

"This is the best looking Buce in my opinion. The leaves are not as small as traditional Hades or other variants. They pop out in the aquascape and the pot has 3-4 rhizomes each with several leaves. Highly recommend."

Rahul G. (5/5)

Nice stuff

"Got 3 decent size rhizomes in one pot."
