Description
Bolbitis heteroclita ‘Difformis’ is a compact aquatic fern with finely divided, feathery green fronds that give a soft, lacy texture unlike any other epiphyte. Smaller and bushier than the African water fern, Bolbitis heteroclita ‘Difformis’ is attached to wood or rock and makes a delicate, fern-like feature in the midground of a shaded aquascape.
Bolbitis heteroclita ‘Difformis’ is a slow-growing, undemanding epiphyte that prefers low to moderate light and grows from a creeping rhizome without needing CO₂, though it responds well to gentle flow and clean water. Attach Bolbitis heteroclita ‘Difformis’ to hardscape by tying or gluing the rhizome, keeping it exposed; never bury the rhizome in substrate.
Hardy and forgiving once settled, Bolbitis heteroclita ‘Difformis’ suits patient beginners and experienced aquascapers wanting fine fern texture, and it is ideal for shrimp, betta and community tanks. Add Bolbitis heteroclita ‘Difformis’ for lacy green detail on your hardscape.
