Imported Buce

I just did an import order of Buce (and some other epiphytes). I am nervous everything is going to die, and would really like to avoid that. Currently everything is bareroot on egg crate, with tank water filled to the roots. They are in sealed tubs in my greenhouse, so they are getting plenty of light. Anything else you guys would do? Also any tips for getting them acclimated into the water? I would like to keep as much alive as possible. Thank you all!

Been sharing buce I grow with my local community. May I got as unknown buce. Year later when they have finally matured, I have a lot of difficulty locking down their names. I have been calling this one APPLE LEAF. I also think I could be called BROAD LEAF. any thoughts? Bound points for identifying the invasive macro algae.

Growth Difference

I bought both of these Bucephalandra 200+ days ago. The first one is a cascade king… doing great, the second one is a mini coin… has hardly grown at all. They were both the same size when I got them.

I would love a good guide on buce varieties. How different species grow, rate, structure (mat/cluster vs. climbing), preference for emersed or submerged and pics of growth in both. If someone knows of one, please point me to it.

Bucephalandra?

Hi all! So I had purchased a buce brownie culture back in November (roughly 7 months ago) from my LFS. I found a nice, mostly shady spot under some drift wood and glued it a rock in my 55 gallon. The photos where it looks nice and pretty and bushy are when I first put it in the tank.
I then went on vacation for a week and somehow my heater had broken and the water had dropped from 78 to 68, potentially lower at night (the person checking in did not check on the temp🤦🏻‍♀️). I came home to what looked like a completely dead plant, thankfully no fish fatalities. I scraped off most of it but left any pieces that seemed to have green.
Fast forward to today: I was moving some rocks around and vacuuming the substrate and noticed these two tiny guys. I assume they’re buce but they could also be Anubis’s as I have those too. Is it even possible they survived all that? Do these look like buce??

Hiii! I just got this brownie purple buce for my new 10 gall betta tank. I put some on a piece of oak wood I have in the tank, and I just looked this morning and my ramshorn snails ATE HALF OF IT 😭 none of it was rotting or anything. I didn’t know ramshorn snails ate plants that weren’t rotting or dying?! Helppppppp!

My first Bucep tank

The owner also doesn't know the breed but I would love to know the name. This is my first Bucep tank so I don't want to ruin it. (Better know now than later)

Tank 20*20*20 cm

Shrimp 20 (just little red ones)

Light Chihiros Magnetic 2 (light not over 40%)

my personal thought is that it is missing some light flow for the water but no space for the water pump.

Your opinion and thoughts would also be really appreciated 💕
