Potted Bolbitis Heudelotii

Bolbitis heudelotii, commonly known as African Water Fern, is an aquatic fern prized in aquascaping for its unique, delicate leaf structure and deep green color. This slow-growing plant thrives best when attached to driftwood or rocks, rather than planted in substrate, as its rhizomes are prone to rot. Bolbitis prefers shaded or low-light environments with moderate water flow and benefits from stable, slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. Its hardy nature makes it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists aiming to add texture and natural beauty to freshwater tanks.
