I have a number of Buce plants in various tanks that are growing well, but their main method of growth, rather than horizontal spread and new branching from the lower parts of the rhizome, is an upward vertical growth as new leaves sprout from the centre of the stem.
This is a similar growth pattern to the ‘succulent’ house plants I have. In these plants you can trim the growing tip of the stem, and the plant will then throw out new shoots lower down.
Whilst I appreciate they are unrelated plants, would this method also work for these vertically growing Buce? By trimming the growing tip of the vertical stems, will this encourage more lateral growth from the rhizome?
Folks may be doing this already, and I’ve just not read it, but if anyone can confirm success doing this, before I start hacking away at mine, that would be appreciated 👍🏻
