Bucephalandra Broad Wavy or Buce Broad Wavy is yet another a farm-grown variant of the extremely popular and classic aquarium plant, Bucephalandra Green Wavy. As its name implies, the characteristic ruffle-edged leaves are overall slightly larger than those seen on the original Bucephaandra Green Wavy. Coloration is similar and offers a bold green hue that provides lovely contrast to the midground of a planted aquarium tank. Form factor and overall size categorize this Buce species as a medium-sized aquarium plant that would work in the midground of a planted aquarium tank.
Like other Bucephalandra, Buce Broad Wavy is versatile with placement and will grow well when attached to aquarium hardscape such as aquascaping stones and aquarium driftwood. Bucephalandra prefers lower lighting, substantial flow and will grow nice and dense if favorable conditions are provided. While CO2 injection is not required, the use of it helps promote quicker growth and lovely coloration. The stem and rhizome should not be covered when planting and over-gluing of roots will be extremely detrimental to its growth and survival.
