African Water Fern (Bolbitis heudelotii)

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. Supply of CO₂ will considerably enhance the growth, which is only optimal in soft, slightly acidic water.
