Pros
- Your buce is amazing!
- It grows slower than my stem plants but faster that my Buce if that helps.
- My buce flowered today, didn’t expect them to flower, never happen to me before, and I just got these little guy 2 weeks ago.
- I have 4 species of buce, all planted in soil, and they are all thriving. I know it isn't the typical way to grow them, but after seeing Dennis Wong's thanks with planted buce, I decided to do it too and have yet to have any issues. Some...
- The variegated here looks gorgeous! And bigger than the whites I saw too!
Cons
- Although slow growing, it can choke them out/cover rhizomes. Especially epiphytes like anubias, buce, as well as others.
- As for my Buce, they were single stems, about 3-7 years in my care. They would be bigger but, due to bba and clado I cut them back a fair bit. Cutting every leaf and only leaving the rhizome.

I have 4 species of buce, all planted in soil, and they are all thriving. I know it isn't the typical way to grow them, but after seeing Dennis Wong's thanks with planted buce, I decided to do it too and have yet to have any issues. Some of the buce is even flowering for the first time right now!

All epiphytes. As much buce, Anubias, moss and Ferns as possible.
As for my Buce, they were single stems, about 3-7 years in my care. They would be bigger but, due to bba and clado I cut them back a fair bit. Cutting every leaf and only leaving the rhizome.
And those are some gigantic buce you got there.
Everything else, other than AR, turning out really good. Rotala H'ra and buce was added about 2 weeks ago.
