A dwarf version of the Bolbitis. A very special plant, because it is hard to grow. Under water it grows even more slowly than above water. The leaf shape under water is slightly rougher than above water. It will do well on a piece of lava stone. The roots are dark-brown to black, but that is normal with this species. Sometimes new plants will occur spontaneously at the end of the leaves, but you can also cut the rhizome. Very suitable as dwarf specie for a maintenance free nano-cube. Flowering gives some dark leaves, that can be removed.
