Dryn

I absolutley love bolbitis. I have looked at several LFS for some at many years but I could never find any. I finally found some about six months ago. I paid about $5 total for three "plugs" grown by a local hobbyist. I put the largest two specimens in my display aquarium. These grew very slowly up until when my Hygro overgrew the top, shading the ferns and then they started growing like crazy! The third stem was the smallest. It had about three small fronds on it. I superglued it to a small stone and buried the stone in a 3 inch clay pot leaving the rhizomes above the soil. I put the pot in a 2.5 gallon rimless tank, added a small powerfilter, covered it in saranwrap and put it in a shaded window sill and forgot about it basically. Yesterday I took it out of the small tank where it had been steadily growing into a monster. Now it measures about six inches in diameter and is about eight inches tall and has over 30 individual fronds! I put it in the waterfall portion of my frog viv where I hope it overcomes the entire tank.
