I've tried a couple of different types of Bucephalandra now but Buce 'Kedagang' is easily my favorite.
In my experience its very hardy and easy to keep making it perfect for people new to planted tanks using low-tech setups.
I've had it in tropical tanks (25C+) room temperature tanks (18C), low pH, high pH, tanks with liquid fert, tanks without, tanks with low light, tanks with moderate light, and it just grows.
It also gets a lot larger than most other types of Bucephalandra I've kept getting to around the size of Anubias Nana while the other types of buce I have are around the size of Anubias Petite.
Speaking of Anubias, its a great contrast against the deep greens of the Anubias Barteri species as Bucephalandra 'Kedagang' has a deep, dirty green with tiny speckles and red hues.

Going on month three of first fish/planted tank.

I have been super impressed with the look and coloration of the Buce kedagang, but was borderline giddy when I saw this flower budding the other day

Is this plant at all similar to “Kedagang Mini Round”? I bought some from k2aqua on ebay and they’re minuscule. This is the plant:

No, they are different.....as you can see in the image the Kedagang leaf is crinkled.

What a beautiful plant. I’m hopefully having two in my new tank 🙂 along with Buce Red x2
