All about African Water Fern

African Water Fern / Bolbitis Heudelotii African Water Fern is a well known variant of Bolbitis which originates from the tropics of West Africa.

It is a slow grower like other Bolbitis and best grown secured to a piece of wood rather than planted direct in the substrate. Additional CO2 seems to boost growth and it grows best in a rather shady position.

This species is often used as a midground specimen plant in tropical freshwater aquaria. Propagation is from divisions and cuttings from the rhizome.

Propagation is by division of the rhizome. It is a slow-growing plant.
