This small but beautiful aquarium plant has wavy-edged, oblong leaves that are about 2 inches (5 cm) long and 0.75 inch (2 cm) wide. The bright green leaves are speckled with small, white dots, and the ruffled edging provides a unique texture to your planted tank. Expect this slow-growing bucephalandra to reach about 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) in height.
I was very pleased with my plants in tissue culture form. They are very distinctive. I'm looking forward to seeing it grow in.
Plant arrived in excellent shape, and quickly. I was able to release many individual plants from the tissue culture. Look forward to purchasing more, thanks.
1st time with tissue culture plants, so far I'm very happy. I'm not surprised. Everything from plants to advice I've received from Aquarium Co-op has been excellent.
All healthy
Buce came in great and healthy. Split into 4 different plants!
Arrived looking alive and healthy! I glued it onto a large rock and it looks great in the foreground.
I ordered some Bucephalandra Green Wavy from Aquarium Co-op a couple of years ago and I have loved it. It grew well and got quite large in my shrimp tank until I killed it due to some careless maintenance practices recently. So I was excited to try this new Bucephalandra tissue culture from Tropica. This was my first time ordering tissue culture plants so I wasn't sure what to expect but had high hopes. When the plants arrived they had obviously been tossed around in shipping. The growing medium was everywhere inside the container and coated all the plant surfaces. When I was finally able to get them untangled and washed off, I had about six plantlets and they were tiny, but seemed in decent condition. I glued each plantlet/rhizome to some ceramic filter media rings just to give them a weight to anchor until they could grow larger and I placed them near the rear of my 20 gal that gets good light and the slightest injection of CO2 to let them grow out. When i checked on them the next day all but one had melted away and I was left with just bits of rhizome glued to the weights. After two weeks the one that kept a couple of its leaves is struggling but is not completely gone yet. The others are still just bits of rhizome and have started to turn brown. There is still traces of green on some of them so I am still hopeful that they may eventually recover but it isn't looking good. I don't blame the Co-op or Tropica. I'm sure these are fine quality plants and I know the folks at Aquarium Co-op do an excellent job handling the plants when packaging. I'm sure the hot weather in transit and my own inexperience with tissue culture plants is the real culprit.
I had order 2 of these, one of them arrived well and is still thriving in my tank a month later. However, the other was dead and brown upon arrival. As soon as I open the packaged, I email them right away with no response, the first email was on 7/9 the second on 7/11 and the third on 7/15. Never got a response. The other plants on the order arrived well.
Arrived in good condition. It's doing well in the tank.
Looks very nice in my tank and the fish enjoy it. I've had it for a month and it is nice and green; growing well.
