Description
Tropica Bolbitis heudelotii (Low Tech)
Tropica Bolbitis heudelotii also called Congolese water fern grows in habitats like those where Anubias are found. Its powerful rhizome covers stones and roots like a carpet along the banks of rivers and streams. Submersed fronds are dark green, transparent, and incredibly ornamental. Avoid strong light for this plant since it prefers shade. It also prefers fairly strong water movement, e.g., near a filter. A good CO2 supply will ensure lush growth. We highly recommend binding these plants to wood and roots.

*This is a Potted Plant and NOT a Tissue Culture Plant. This plant was grown in a greenhouse and is NOT guaranteed to be snail, algae or pesticide-free. Potted plants are cheaper than Tissue Culture Plants as they are not grown in a sterile laboratory. They generally appear to be bigger than Tissue Culture plants. We recommend Tissue Culture Plant for 100% client satisfaction.
McMerwe’s Comment: A premium Plant. Please keep in mind that this plant is extremely sensitive without co2. It can be grown without co2, but it takes a very long time to transition and show new growth. Once it has transitioned its by far one of the best looking plants. Looks great in tanks of 100L or more.

It’s a nice-looking plant. However, it is quite large and collects a fair bit of algae. It is also quite pricey and there are better alternatives from other cultivars, such as Dennerle.
