Bolbitis heteroclita ‘difformis’ (Potted)

Bolbitis heteroclita ‘difformis’ – Compact and Delicate Water Fern for Aquariums, Paludariums & Terrariums

Bolbitis heteroclita ‘difformis’ is a rare and beautifully textured aquatic fern prized for its finely divided, lace-like leaves and compact growth habit. Ideal for freshwater aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums, this smaller variety of Bolbitis adds a soft, elegant touch to natural setups while staying manageable in size.

Best grown emersed or semi-submerged, B. heteroclita ‘difformis’ thrives in high humidity with low to moderate lighting, making it perfect for ripariums, shallow tanks, or mossy hardscape accents. Its rhizome-based growth allows it to be easily attached to rocks, driftwood, or other surfaces. While it can survive submerged for short periods, it does best in environments where its roots stay moist but the leaves are above water.
