Emersed growth appears as frilly, frond-like leaves, while submersed growth are long, thin, ovate leaves that come to a distinct point. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBolbitis Heteroclita is a rhizomatous plant with thin stringy roots. It grows best on a rocky substrate or fixed to hard scape. Heavy fertilization is not necessary. It is important to keep a consistent temperature between 72-78 degrees for this plant to grow properly, as it is very sensitive to fluctuations. It is best to keep it in slightly acidic and soft water (6-7 pH). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhile growing Asian Water Fern completely submersed can be tricky, they are much easier to grow in a partially emergent environment, making them great for paludariums. If you do decide to keep it submerged though, the slow growth rate and smaller size can make them a great foreground or midground plant, and can be particularly good for a nano tank setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohenrystanksalot.com","offers":[{"title":"Large (8-10in)","offer_id":44238076575837,"sku":"BOL-01-01","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/3707\/4781\/files\/Bolbitis_Hetero_clita.jpg?v=1764033521","url":"https:\/\/ohenrystanksalot.com\/products\/bolbitis-heteroclita-var-asiatica","provider":"Ohenrystanksalot.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
