Bucephalamdra Brownie Blue
One of our favorite types of buce! This beautiful buce will get a nice blue coloration on the leaves once it has been growing underwater for a while. It will also have some green leaves as well which gives a really nice contrast to the blue coloration.
Buce are rhizome plants so you want to attach them to a surface rather than planting them in substrate. We super glue them to plant weight or use rock, wood, etc. to attach them. You can also use thread to wrap around the surface you wish to attach the plant to.

The Brownie Blue buce looks stunning in my tank. After a few weeks, the leaves turned a beautiful blue with green accents. I attached it to a rock using thread and it’s holding well. Growth is slow but steady, and it’s very easy to care for.

I was a bit unsure about rhizome plants, but this one works perfectly. The blue coloration is subtle at first but becomes more vibrant over time. I keep it in moderate light and it’s thriving in the foreground.

Great plant for adding visual interest. The contrast between green and blue leaves is striking. I used super glue to attach it to a wooden surface and it’s stayed in place without any issues.
