Bolbitis heudelotii

Product description

About the species

Large mother plant, grown in a 9 cm square pot. Bolbitis comes from West Africa, a fern with very beautiful transparent green leaves, 15-40 cm long 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.

Hold the plant in place with fishing line until it has taken hold. Easy to propagate by dividing the horizontal rhizome. Growth can be greatly increased by adding CO2, and is only optimal in soft, slightly acidic water.

FAQ about Bolbitis heudelotii

How do I plant Bolbitis heudelotii?

Attach it to wood or rock, or place the roots lightly in substrate without covering the rhizome. A buried rhizome may receive poor circulation and rot.

Where should Bolbitis heudelotii be placed?

Place it on hardscape in the foreground, middle or background according to the variety’s mature size. Avoid very harsh flow against delicate leaves.

Does Bolbitis heudelotii need CO₂?

It can usually grow without added CO₂, although stable CO₂ and balanced nutrition may improve growth. Moderate lighting often reduces algae on slow-growing leaves.

How do I propagate Bolbitis heudelotii?

Once the rhizome has grown, divide it with a clean tool. Each section should retain roots and several healthy leaves before being attached elsewhere.
