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.
WARNING- The bulb might come away from the plant. It will be ok and you might get a SECOND PLANT from the bulb. Just plant the newly free plant.
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.
*We Do Not Guarantee the bulb will sprout*
The SMALL PLANT will already be sprouted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Growing like mad with no dirt!
All of the leaves originally fell off a couple days after I got it but it took off like crazy anyways! This picture is after only about a month!
I love tiger lotus, they are one of my favorite plants. My last one had died so ordered this little beauty. Perfect little bulb!
The leaves got a little smashed up during shipping, but otherwise a very healthy plant that should bounce back quickly. My phone's camera does not do the color justice at all
Good quality and packing
I'm a noob at aquariums so I got a can't kill it combo and a tiger lotus bulb (the cheapest option so it wouldn't hurt if I killed it or it never grew lol) to see how it went, and it was already a pretty substantial plant in great condition when it arrived! Really impressed by Dustin's, yall will definitely be my first option for plants from now on.
