Bolbitis Difformis “Mini Bolbitis”
Bolbitis Heteroclita Difformis is a truly beautiful, slow growing plant. It grows similar to Anubias and Java Fern. It likes to be tied to rocks or driftwood. Propagation is easy just cut the rhizome after you have a portion you want to move. I recommend only propagating after it has 3 leaves on both sides.

The Mini Bolbitis has grown well in my tank with low lighting. It stays compact and looks natural among the rocks. Easy to maintain and doesn’t require much attention. I’ve propagated it once after it had three leaves on each side and it thrived.

This plant is a great addition to a low-light tank. It doesn’t spread quickly, which is perfect for a balanced look. I tied it to a piece of driftwood and it’s been stable for over three months.

I bought this as a beginner-friendly plant and it has performed well. It grows slowly, which I appreciate. The leaves are lush and the color is vibrant even in dim light. No CO2 needed, which makes it ideal for small tanks.
