Bolbitis heudelotti Tissue Culture
Bolbitis heudelotti Tissue Culture – Premium Algae-Free Aquarium Fern
Bolbitis heudelotti Tissue Culture is a slow-growing, epiphytic freshwater fern prized for its dark green, textured foliage and low-maintenance care. Propagated in sterile tissue culture, this plant is guaranteed algae-free, pest-free, and healthy, making it ideal for beginner aquarists, shrimp tanks, and high-quality planted aquascapes. Its natural epiphytic growth allows it to be attached to driftwood, rocks, or mesh for stunning aquascaping effects.
Native Habitat and Growth
Native to West and Central Africa, Bolbitis heudelotti thrives in shaded rivers, streams, and wetlands. Tissue culture propagation ensures consistent quality, healthy fronds, and fast acclimation in home aquariums. Under moderate lighting, it develops dense, dark green leaves that provide excellent contrast with other plants.
How to Grow Bolbitis heudelotti Tissue Culture in a Home Aquarium
Lighting: Low to medium light is ideal; prevents algae buildup on leaves.
Placement: Attach to driftwood, rocks, or mesh using thread or fishing line; do not bury the rhizome in substrate.
Water Parameters: Prefers temperatures 72–82°F (22–28°C) and pH 6.0–7.5.
CO₂ & Fertilization: Optional; benefits from occasional liquid fertilizers but grows well in low-tech setups.
Maintenance: Trim dead or damaged leaves as needed; slow-growing plant.
