Bucephalandra Sanggau Palm Tree, sometimes shortened to Buce Palm Tree, is a unique cultivar of Bucephalandra. This aquarium plant features large green foliage and deep reddish petioles. Bucephalandra Palm Tree is a larger specimen and is suitable for larger tank sizes or as a plant used to fill space in nano tanks. Like other Bucephalandra species, Bucephalandra Sanggau Palm Tree is epiphytic and can be attached to aquarium driftwood or within the gaps of an aquascape layout. This aquarium plant will also work well in emersed conditons that provide sufficient humidity such as terrariums or vivariums. Because Bucephalandra is relatively hardy, it is commonly touted as a great beginner plant. While Buce will tolerate a range of conditions, growth and color can be poor if neglect is present or parameters are not ideal. 

Bucephalandra Sanggau Palm Tree should be provided with low to medium lighting, substantial flow and quality nutrients. This aquarium plant grows nice and dense if favorable conditions are provided. While CO2 injection is not required, we recommend it when possible to produce quicker growth and lovely coloration that Bucephalandra is known for. Bucephalandra stems and rhizomes should not be covered when planting and over-gluing of roots will be extremely detrimental to growth and survival.
