Mini Bolbitis

Bolbitis difformis

Family: Dryopteridaceae

Ask Finn

Sometimes sold as 'Baby Bolbitis' or 'Mini Bolbitis', this small aquatic fern produces deeply divided fronds similar to the full-size Bolbitis heudelotii but significantly more compact and fine-textured. It attaches to driftwood and rock and grows well in moderate flow. One of the finest detail ferns in the hobby for Iwagumi and Nature Aquarium style.
