Does Bolbitis grow fast?
When given minimal light, this plant will grow slowly and show a deep green color. With more light, the leaves will turn a lighter, sometimes transparent green and grow just a tad faster. Although it's slow growing, Bolbitis can grow to be up to 16-18 inches if cared for right--but this may take a while.
How do you grow a Bolbitis Fern?

How do you take care of an African water fern?
