Bolbitis Heteroclita: Asian Water Fern for Exotic Aquascapes

Bolbitis Heteroclita is an exotic Asian water fern that brings unique texture and natural beauty to aquascapes. This distinctive epiphyte offers a different aesthetic from its African cousin, with more delicate foliage and graceful growth patterns.

Exotic Asian Beauty

• Delicate, finely divided fronds create elegant texture
• Slower growth rate allows for precise aquascaping
• Unique leaf structure different from other Bolbitis species
• Perfect for creating natural, wild appearances

Growing Characteristics

This epiphytic fern should be attached to driftwood or rocks rather than planted in substrate. The rhizome must remain exposed to prevent rot. Prefers moderate lighting and benefits from good water circulation.

Water Requirements

Thrives in soft, slightly acidic water (pH 6.0-7.0) with temperatures between 72-78°F. While CO2 isn't essential, it promotes healthier growth and more vibrant green coloration.

Aquascaping Applications

Excellent for creating natural biotope setups and adding authentic wild appearance to aquascapes. Works beautifully attached to driftwood in midground positions or as accent plants on hardscape.

Maintenance

Minimal maintenance required once established. Remove any yellowing or damaged fronds and ensure good water flow around the plant. The slow growth rate means less frequent trimming.

Add exotic Asian elegance to your aquascape with this distinctive water fern that brings natural wild beauty and unique texture to your underwater landscape.
