Bolbitis sp. gametophyte

• Temperature: 17 - 27°C
• Light requirement: Normal
• pH: 5.5 - 7.3
• Well suited for nano aquariums

This is the gametophyte (pre-germ) of a Bolbitis fern.
It grows into dark green, tiered cushions, with fine adhesive roots forming on the underside, allowing this gametophyte to attach itself to rocks and root wood.

This wonderful plant is not demanding on lighting and grows slowly but steadily even in darker areas of the aquarium. Small Bolbitis fern plants have already formed in some areas.
A good nutrient supply with VIMI plant fertilizer and the addition of CO2 noticeably promotes growth.

The Bolbitis gametophyte is a special aquarium plant and is of interest not only to enthusiasts of rare aquarium mosses and ferns. Due to its small leaf structure and distinctive growth habit, it is particularly interesting for branches that protrude into the foreground and small nano aquariums.
