Red Tiger Lotus- (Dwarf Aquarium Lily)- EASY RED Aquarium Plant
NOTE: YOUR PLANT MIGHT DETACH FROM THE BULB. This is NORMAL and you might grow a second. It will be fine detached. THESE ARE MEGA EASY and HARDY PLANTS.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive had it only a few weeks now and it was small when I got it and now it has tripled in size and has new runners and one has already reached the surface, waiting for it to open!
Came healthy, taking off in my tank already.
Beautiful plant with several leaves. Highly recommend!
I’m obsessed with this plant! It has been one of the easiest. I have one thriving in my plakats tank without burying the bulb or roots. I just use Dustin’s growth juice and I’ve had to trim it back a couple times.
I bought a 2nd one for my half moon’s tank and can’t wait for the beautiful bushy foliage.
Can't wait to watch it grow and I just know my Betta will love it when he gets this tank!
