Bolbitis Heteroclita

Bolbitis Heteroclita is a fun and slow growing plant with broad leaves that almost remind us of Anubias? Like other Bolbitis varieties, it grows from a rhizome and looks great attached to driftwood or rocks!

This is an easy, low-light plant that doesn't require CO2, making it a great option for low-tech tanks. Just keep in mind that it grows SLOW, so don't expect this one to take over your tank anytime soon!

Planting Bolbitis Heteroclita

Just like Anubias and Java Fern, you don't want to bury the rhizome in the substrate. Instead, attach it to driftwood, rocks, or other aquarium decor and allow it to grow from there.

Propagation is pretty simple! Once the plant is established, cut the rhizome into separate sections and relocate them. We recommend waiting until you have at least 3 leaves on both sides before cutting the rhizome.

Most plants are sold as trimmings from rooted plants unless otherwise stated. This plant is sold bare root.
