Bolbitis heteroclita 'Difformis' on Wood (Bolbitis heteroclita 'Difformis')
Bolbitis heteroclita 'Difformis' on Wood is a beautiful, ready-to-display aquatic plant that combines the natural elegance of driftwood with the lush, textured foliage of one of the aquarium hobby's most unique fern species. Featuring bright to deep green, intricately divided leaves, this plant creates a mature, natural appearance that instantly enhances planted aquariums, aquascapes, and shrimp tanks.
Unlike stem plants, Bolbitis grows from a rhizome and naturally attaches itself to driftwood and rocks. Because this specimen is already established on premium aquarium wood, it can simply be placed into your aquarium with no planting required. Over time, the fern will continue to spread across the wood, creating a stunning, natural centerpiece with very little maintenance.
Bolbitis heteroclita 'Difformis' thrives in low to moderate lighting and adapts well to a wide range of freshwater aquarium conditions. It is an excellent choice for beginner and experienced aquarists alike. While supplemental CO₂ and regular fertilization are not required, they can encourage faster growth, fuller foliage, and richer green coloration. Its dense leaves also provide excellent shelter for shrimp, fry, and small fish while adding depth and texture to any aquascape.
