In this video we talk about how to grow bucephalandra. Its a touchy species for a lot of people and there may be a couple reasons why you may have not had success in the past. This video talks about common mistakes when growing bucephalandra and how to avoid them to grow beautiful and healthy buce!
If your interested in what lighting and CO2 equipment equipment I use it is all available on aquariumco2.ca !

Forgot an important little detail about Bucephalandra. Buce is an epiphyte which means it grows by attaching to rocks or wood. it is important to not plant the rhizhome in the soil or it can end up killing the plant. For details on how to plant it check out this video!

Can i plant it in gravel?

Heck yeah congrats on the new website! Great tips as always Kalem.
Thank you! 😁😁
Hey Kalem, great video about Buce! The ones you sold me are doing amazingly well and growing very lushly. Nice to see you on YT! Best of luck with your new wbesite.
Thank you so much! also super glad they are still doing well for you!
You’ve encouraged me to grow Bucephalandra plants. I subscribe and put notifications on, because I’m learning a lot from you. Thank you for sharing.
Very useful information. Thank you.
I’m so happy I seen this I’m gonna be getting BG2011
Growing buce for 2 years with no co2. It still isn't too much bigger than I originally got it. Beside the one with the best lighting. Grows a leaf every week. For me good experience is good lighting and let the roots get inside the substrate. If I do CO2 it'll be a lot bigger.
For sure! Once it gets the roots in the substrate it seems to really start taking off
Great video man! I just picked up a few species of Buce for my new high tech tank. Got a couple mini buce species I love the smaller leaves they created a really awesome look on my dragonstone hardscape
Thats awesome! The minis are definitely my favourite as well 😁
Thanks for your information
Ty!
I just realized you did the same bottle cap mod for the skimmer :) . Nice tank and growth.
Was actually a piece I ordered off ebay that was 3D printed... should have looked into using a bottle cap may have saved me quite a bit 😅 but the piece works great! And thank you!
I needed to rewatch. Just got a bunch of buce
so did i, now i'm scared my $12 is in jeopardy...
Very interesting and informative!! I always considered that buce grew at substrate level... I'm considering the RED GODZILLA or SUPER Black.
My tank is cycled but only since a week ago. My Amazon sword is the only plant that consists of the bba.
I don't usually like the Amazon sword because it's an algae magnet and is a great host to BBA but i keep it because It aids in populating the tank with plant growth thus eliminating algae growth.
I'd like to eventually eliminate the sword but first need other types to take it's place.
cool video
How do you attach buce to wood or stone? Many videos talk about super glue, but superglue melts my buce and anubias starting from the spot on the rhizome where I stuck it.
Many hobbyist in temperate regions don't realise hobbyist living at the equator requires a chiller when keeping buceps. Even though buceps originated in rivers in the equater, hobbyist tank here rarely go below 29C without chiller almost 365 days. Lucky for u guys way up north or down south. Chiller is more expensive in energy cost as compared to an aquarium heater.
Hey Kalem,
I’m starting a Dry Start Planted Aquarium. I’ve been trying to get information on the Bucephalandra Brown Ghost. Can it be planted in a Dry Start Aquarium? Can a Tissue Culture be Dry Started? I can’t fine anything on this beautiful plant. Thank you for sharing. I subscribed and put notifications on to keep in touch with you. Thank you for sharing.
sorry about the late reply! but from a tissue culture especially it should be fine to dry start!
Hi Kalem.. gret info. thank you. Have you ever transferred buce from immersed to submerged??. I wanna try.. thanks again
Yep definitely have multiple times! Just may get a bit of melting and its easier to do with CO2
@@KalemsFishtanks Hot shit! I'm going for it. Gonna invest in some beauts. Thanks for the inspiration and instruction

does aquarium soil (fluval ada landen) release ammonia at first?
Здравствуйте подскажите какой светильник для буцефаландры будет лучше?
Hi if it is melting，will it still survive？
I have a piece of driftwood that extends above the waterline. Can I put this on the emergent hardscape do make the driftwood look like it’s sprouting?
I personally would not unless you live in a humid area or have something that will soak water up to the roots of the buce like terra tape to keep them constantly in water
That’s good knowledge. The driftwood wicks up a lot of moisture and is always wet, but I don’t have to fully commit. I can try a little bit for a few months and see how it goes.
@@jackjmaheriii thats probably the safest plan! I recommend testing it out and seeing how it goes!
Subscired👍👍👍
Thank you!
😎👍👍👍 Hello!!
The captions are hilarious. "If you're looking for abusive philandering..." 😂 I'm going to order some soon as I've always loved how it looked, hopefully I can get it settled without melting it!
Heyo Kalem,
I kinda had a problem with the roots melting/ going brown, any idea what causes this ?
Were they established plants? Or were they just recently bought (within the last 2 months?)
@@KalemsFishtanks established for at least 6 months, also with this problem came lots of BBA. Seems something went rotting or something
@@TriassicParkTriops Very weird I honestly have no idea what could be causing it sorry ma
I just subscribed . Good info . Sounds like this is a hard plant . So happy to find a Canadian fishkeeper on you tube.😊😊
Which fertilizer you using for Bucephalandra
I use tropica on all my tanks right now
how does it do in hard water? I had been thinking that my hard water is why I have no success..... my buce seems to melt and grow at about the same rate, meaning, no net growth! and this is over a period of a year.... or it just melts...
I dont have hard water so I have never tried I know that most plants dont do well in hard water so that definitely could be the cause
@@KalemsFishtanks my PH is consistently 7.5, but GH is about 10 and KH is about 4
Bit late but my water is liquid rock and i grow it just fine. I do have high light, co2 and lots of ferts though.
Buce indonesia 🇮🇩 👍😁
it aint your national plant. lnfao over proud

🙋👍👍👍💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🤩🤩🤩
How do you get it flower?
Just takes a lot of patience a bit of luck and some good lighting
What a beautiful tank! So, you dont use any liquid fertilizer?
I sometime fail to take care of them. using some fertilizer, or change emviroment, or etc...
Patience is the most important, isnt it?LOL
From JPN
No plant can grow without co2!
Your right but what I mean is they can groe without CO2 injected into the water. There will be some CO2 that gets added from surface agitation just a very small amount
You mean nitrites? Nitrates are what your plants need.When you add ferts ,you add Nitrates
No I mean Nitrates. This plant requires very little nitrates, if you dont have a bunch of fast growing plants all the extra nitrates will will just go towards growing algae on the buce like green dust algae or BBA
