Common Name: Bolbitis Heteroclita
Bolbitis Heteroclita looks more like Java Fern when compared to Bolbitis Mini and Difformis. It’s a slow growing fern that can be grown submerged or emsersed. Like Java Ferns, Anubias and Buce, Bolbitis Heteroclita is epiphytic and can be attached directly onto aquarium driftwood or stones. Larger plants can be propagated by dividing along the rhizome and replanting. This particular listing comes with one Bolbitis Heteroclita plant already attached to a Christmas Moss covered sphere and is ready to be placed into the aquarium immediately.
Notes:
- 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. For instructions on how to properly prep aquarium plants, click here.
- Burying the rhizome will cause the plant to die
- Plant is grown best attached to wood, rock, or sitting on top of substrate
- CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
- Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
