Bolbitis heudelotii pot

Bolbitis heudelotii, the African Water Fern, is a stunning epiphytic fern with deep green translucent deeply pinnate fronds that catch light beautifully. It is attached to wood or rock like Java Fern and prefers moderate to high flow with soft slightly acidic water. A highly sought-after specialist plant from quality Belgian and Dutch shops.

Attach rhizome firmly to hardscape above substrate. Moderate flow is essential — stagnant water causes black rot on the rhizome. Soft water and CO2 recommended for best growth. Remove all rock wool from pot and clean roots before attaching. Grows slowly but steadily with correct conditions. Propagate by rhizome division.
