Description
Bolbitis comes from West Africa, a fern with beautiful, transparent green leaves, 15-40 cm tall and wide. When planting, do not cover the rhizome because it will rot, and it is best to plant Bolbitis heudelotii on a root or stone. Keep the plant in position with fishing line until it has gained a hold. Easy to propagate by splitting the horizontal rhizome.
Bolbitis prefer to be placed in areas of an aquarium that experience higher flow rates. Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant. Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant above a quality substrate.
