Bolbitis heudelotii in a pot

The bolbitis comes from West Africa, a fern with beautiful transparent green leaves, 15-40 cm tall and wide. During sowing, do not cover the rhizome because it will rot, and it is better to plant Bolbitis heudelotii on a root or stone. Keep the plant in place with the lence until it has acquired a grip. Easy to propagate by dividing the horizontal rhizome.

The contribution of CO2 will considerably improve growth, which is optimal only in fresh water, slightly acidic.
