Red Tiger Lotus- (Dwarf Aquarium Lily)- EASY RED Aquarium Plant
Red Tiger Lotus are an amazing plant that I really just got into not all that long ago. I love the big red leaves and the unique shape of the plant. As with most red plants, with Red Tiger Lotus, you are going to want to make sure that they have substantial nutrients in their substrate. The better the substrate the better the Red Tiger Lotus will grow. I wouldn't advise trying to keep a Red Tiger Lotus without Dirt or some really substantial root fertilizer.
They say to cut it back so it grows better. I have never personally done this, but it isn't a bad idea for how to care for a red tiger lotus. The Red Tiger Lotus is from west Africa and just looks great as a contrast in you planted aquarium tank. You get so much of an interesting plant with such a great red that I really love this plant.
Red Tiger Lotus is totally a top ten favorite plant of mine.
NOTE: These plants are soo phat that I hand wrap them in wet paper so that they are delivered perfectly to you.
This plant might lose a leaf or two in shipping as they are so thin, but they grow back quickly.

Dustin’s never disappoints. Shippping is fast and the plants always arrive in excellent shape. Absolutely beautiful.
Super fast shipping! Only one of the four bulbs had leaves but showing new growth in a week. Dustin’s is definitely my favorite online store for aquarium plants. And as always loved my free extra plant. Thank you DFT
Healthy bulb with 2 additional offshoots. Many leaves several inches around. Very established plant. Packaging was superb!
I am new to the hobby but obsessed! This is my second order from Dustin’s. First order is growing like crazy and beautiful. Could not pass up the sale so I ordered 4 more tiger lotus. These came in pretty beat up but I’m sure will be popping off soon. And as always received an extra plant, this time was a banana plant. Thank you DFT!
Both bulbs came looking very good lots of roots and lots of leaves. Thank you very much
