Bucephalandra Green Wavy on Driftwood

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.
