Buce pack day 10: iridescence is finally showing, how long till new leaves?
Attached my newest divisions to wood about ten days ago and the old leaves are starting to show that blue shimmer under moderate light. No new leaf yet though. From your experience, how long until a fresh leaf pushes after a move like this? Pic below of the wood setup is not up, I'll add one once something sprouts.

Usually 3 to 5 weeks for me before a new leaf, sometimes longer if the rhizome was cut recently. Shimmer on the old leaves is a good sign they're not melting.
same here, mine sat still for a month then pushed two leaves at once. patience is the whole game with buce.
Same with my anubias, it sat for weeks looking identical and then pushed a leaf overnight. Don't keep moving it, that resets everything.
anubias and buce are the same story, rhizome plants just sit and sulk. leave it on the wood and stop poking it, mossboss.
ha, fair. I'll keep my hands off the wood and just stare at it from a distance. Will post a pic when the first leaf pushes.
