I find it thrives in my tanks compared to java ferns. Great looking plant too
It's a great plant! Glad to see it get some love.
I find if I put mine at the edge of the light, in a flow, it stretches out and grows really well. When it wants to, it can grow quickly, but it's a moody one. I started with one small rhizome in the early 1990s, and it's still going strong in a number of tanks. It's a beautiful plant.

Yes, it lives its spot just off the side of flow and shaded by the Red Tiger lilly.
Love this plant!

I really like the combo of bolbitus & lily, a nice contrast! Mine tends to be a darker green than your brighter green. Less light & ferts for mine maybe? Or maybe shoved out of the filter return...It just on a small bit of wood.

Mine is on a piece of driftwood.
I keep my lights at 75% for 6-7 hours a day.
It is right below the filter flow
I use Thrive liquid ferts about once a month and plant spikes for the lilly.
How about a pic of yours?
Thanks!! I love the combo too, its turning out nicely after my move in May.
We really loathe moving..lol
