Bolbitis heudelotii On Driftwood – Nano

Bolbitis heudelotii, commonly known as African water fern, is an aquatic plant that belongs to the family of ferns. It is a popular choice among aquarium hobbyists because of its unique appearance and easy care. One of the best ways to showcase this plant in an aquarium is by attaching it to driftwood.

Growing Bolbitis heudelotii on driftwood has several advantages. Firstly, it adds an aesthetic touch to an aquarium by providing a natural-looking habitat for fish and other aquatic creatures. Secondly, the plant’s rhizomes, which attach themselves to the wood, can help stabilize the wood, making it less likely to float around. This can be especially useful for aquascaping purposes, where stability is key in creating a desired look. Additionally, Bolbitis heudelotii does not require any substrate, making it an excellent option for aquariums with sand or gravel substrate.

An unusual fact about Bolbitis heudelotii is that it is actually not a true aquatic plant. In the wild, it is usually found growing in or near water, but not submerged. It is adapted to humid environments and can survive underwater because of its rhizomes, which act as a buoyancy device, allowing the plant to float.

Overall, Bolbitis heudelotii on driftwood is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for plant that can enhance the overall look of an aquarium while also providing benefits such as stabilization of driftwood and not requiring a substrate.
