Bolbitis heteroclita 'Difformis', also known as Asian mini fern, is a highly decorative and attractive aquarium plant from Aqualine. With its finely cut, lacy leaves that resemble miniature carrot or fern tops, it adds a unique and exotic look to any aquascape.
This plant is ideal for attaching to hardscape elements such as driftwood and rocks using fishing line or plant glue. Its slow growth rate makes it very manageable and low-maintenance, requiring infrequent trimming.
