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.

Customer Reviews
Both bulbs came looking very good lots of roots and lots of leaves. Thank you very much
I ordered two bulbs that were supposed to have a tiny plant or roots. I got 4 bulbs, 3 with pretty big plants already and 1 with small roots. I can't wait to plant them in my tanks! I have them just floating right now!
Already came with roots and leafs- had it for a week and cant wait for it to grow more
Came packaged perfectly and so healthy. Thanks Justin
Received my lotus with about 5 or 6 large leaves. Although they were healthy, I went ahead and trimmed all but the smallest leaf off. Three days after planting in the aquarium, I already have 2 new leaves starting. The plant came in very healthy with some long, strong roots. Dustin's Fish Tanks for the win!
