Common Name: Bucephalandra Green Wavy
Tissue culture plants are grown in vitro from a state of the art laboratory specialized in propagating aquatic plants. They provide the best option for those who want to ensure that absolutely zero unwanted pests are introduced into the aquarium.
Buce Green Wavy is a farm-grown variant of Bucephalandra that's been gaining popularity. It can be characterized by the bright green ruffled leaves which can range from about .75 - 1.0 inches.
The plant is very slow growing, with new leaves sprouting from long, thin rhizomes. It can be propagated by cutting the rhizome and attached to driftwood and rocks using super glue gel or thread.
Remove tissue culture gel before planting. Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.
Notes:
- Bucephalandra is an epiphytic aquarium plant so it can be attached to aquarium hardscape.
- Do not plant Bucephalandra in substrate and cover the rhizome. This will cause it to melt and rot.
- Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot. Remove the rockwool surrounding the roots and attach to hardscape. For instructions on how to properly prep "potted" aquarium plants, click here.
- Bucephalandra’s final size, coloration and growth rate are dependent upon the condition of the aquarium Photos are a representation of what you will receive and may vary.
- Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
- CO2 injection will yield better growth.
- Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

Excellent collection of little Bucephalandra

Buce Green Wavy
"A ton of Buce inside that 1 little cup! About 5 little plants in one pot, great value!"
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."
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."
