Mini Bolbitis

This is a dwarf form of Bolbitis with a leaf form just like Bolbitis heudelotti and I believe it is B. heudelotti 'Small Form'. From the rhizome to leaf tip averages only 2" to 3" up to a maximum of about 4". I have read that it can reach 6" but that has not been my experience, maybe they mean high tech with CO2 injection. The fern-like leaf form is lovely but the vivid green when light shines through the translucent leaves is what makes this plant a favorite of mine.

You are bidding on the three rhizomes shown below, with and without flash. The piece on the right is very big, the upper one is on the small side of average and the one on the left is the large side of average. The lines on the bottom of the container are about an inch apart for scale.

To be clear, this is a nano plant, what you receive will be small and it's always going to stay small. It will look lost if you try to put it in a big tank. But it's perfect for smaller cubes, especially with shrimp.

I only trim twice a year, spring and fall, and there's a very limited amount of rhizomes. This is the third auction, there may only be one more after this. If you would like a different quantity or size just email, I will show you what's available. But do it NOW before it's all gone.

Once established this plant is easy and I was pleasantly surprised that it had a reasonable growth rate with light ferts. And unlike regular B. heudelotti, it STAYS VERY COMPACT! It doesn't take years to spread and fill in. It has grown best for me with good water movement so avoid stagnant corners.

This is not what is being offered on ebay by the Asian sellers which has more finely divided leaves and growth slower than plate techtonics (Bolbitis heteroclita cuspidata? Bolbitis heteroclita difformis?). I feel this is a much more graceful plant than those which remind me of carrot or parsley leaves. Don't know why this remains so rare, it's an awesome plant.
