    *Hello all. Bucephalandra (Boo-ché Pha-laan-draa) is native to Borneo, Indonesia. As Indonesians, we usually call it like the writing, Buce (Boo-Chê, where ê is "a weak ê", is read like the word "Ba(chê)lor"), some call it Bucé (Boo-Ché, where é is read like the word "café"). This plant likes cool temperatures (maximum 28 Celsius), clear water and moderate light. If that all three conditions are not fulfilled then the plant will melt. Very slow growth, one leaf every 2-3 weeks. Bucé are very sensitive if they have just been moved, if those three conditions have been met, but the plants are still melting, don't throw them away, they are adapting to new water and a new environment. Wait a few days then the new leaves will start growing again. To maintain its sustainability, this plant has been protected and may not be taken from its native nature in Borneo since several years ago. Everything sold here is from the cultivation of farmers. Very beautiful plant*

    I understand that Buce likes to have flowing water, but how does that work in regards to a betta tank (bettas hate strong flowing currents in their tank usually, as it tires them out/stresses them out) - is fast-flowing water a MUST-HAVE, absolutely required - for buce plants, or can they adapt to life in slower-flow/calmer betta tank waters and still do well?

    Great vid! I recently got my self a bucephalandra (wavey green) and its shooting up flowers everywhere! I got like 8 flowers/flowerbudds atm and I wanted to ask if you know if its better to cut them off rather to let them flower to preserve energy for the plant? I know many plants puts a lot of energy / resources on their flowers rather then growing. Any idea?

    • @GirlTalksFish
      @GirlTalksFish  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lucky! What kind of conditions are growing them in to get them to flower so much, or did you buy the buce? Wish I could see a pic of it!
      I scoured the internet on any information about whether to cut the flowers or not, and there was _nothing_ on the topic. I think most people are super amazed that the buce flowers at all, so they usually leave the flower alone until the petals fall off and then they snip off the flower stem from the base.

They are growing on black/brown lava rock and I heard lava rock contains some minerals wich im not sure of wich they are but maybe thats a important factor? If I missed any info feel free to ask :)

      I have had Dark Skeleton King for 2+ years and yes it 100% grows submersed. The problem is that these plants can get damaged during shipping (during hot weather or cold weather shipping) they may arrive looking ok, but melt or struggle afterwards. They will not do well if your tank is not cycled and mature. I advise hobbyists not to buy much buce in summer or winter because of melting that occurs. There are plenty of sellers who also don't even bother to submerse and transition their buce for sale. Just something to consider

      Dark Achilles as with other darker Buces , will only grow fine if it is put in the shade and with little light. Water parameters should be very constant. Water flow should be medium (not high not low
      )

    For me it grows like Anubias. So all I do it poke it between bits of wood or stone and let it grow. It grows slowly but I've never had any problems. If it starts to loose a few leaves, just leave it and it will grow roots to attach to wood/stone and begin to grow new leaves.

    Buce is a horrible plant to try and trim. Not because it grows quick, but because every leaf is a month of time to regrow
