Sad thing...we have variety here in SA as well, but people dont wanna share (hopefully they'll start selling soon...who knows)
True that! Have been looking for this plant in any variant for months now. Can't find any or at least not anyone willing to share. Trying my luck at buying some imports through a LFS.
Have a tank full of them...just need other varieties... And I know of at least 3 people on here that has a bunch...bastards...LOL
Well to be completely honest. If I had a rare plant like this, I wouldn't be dishing it out to everyone as well. Plus its a slow grower from what I hear.
Why not? Only going to be rare for that long and it won't make your tank ugly just because I have it too. Sell it while it's hot.
Yours to do with as you like. Just a funny human behaviour. Borneo probably stopped looking for drugs at their borders and only checking all the unique fauna and flora leaving it's borders. Very cool country aquatic wise.
I find they easier to keep happy than many anubias species...you have to be a real idiot to kill a Buce TBH
LOL even I can keep them alive Also got "Melawi" and they're great plants. I imagine the people who have different varieties and aren't selling them are just trying to build up enough stock to start supplying them properly.
I have a couple of them too. But, as everyone else has said, they grow super slow. I bought one a while back and split it in two. The hope was it would grow enough so that I could spread it throughout the tank. But, hahaha! That will only happen in a couple years at this pace!
I got one that only puts out new leaves once every 2 to 3 weeks. And it is under high light and CO2. No wonder way buce r so expensive.
