Common Names: Bolbitis Mini, El Niño Fern

Bolbitis heteroclita 'Difformis' (Mini Bolbitis) is a delicate aquatic fern known for its finely divided, lace-like leaves. This slow-growing epiphyte thrives when attached to driftwood or rocks, making it a popular choice for aquascaping. Unlike many other ferns, it prefers slightly cooler temperatures and soft, slightly acidic water for optimal growth–an optimal plant for growing with wild bettas like Macrostoma and Betta Hendra. With its compact size and intricate foliage, Mini Bolbitis is best used as an accent plant or to add a bit of greenery to the hardscape. Regular trimming and stable water parameters help maintain its health, while CO₂ supplementation and gentle water flow encourage lush growth.
