- Colorful, Patterned Leaves
- Easy to Care For
- Grows Lily Pads
Tiger Lotus is just a beautiful plant and not difficult to grow. Given just medium light and plenty of nutrients, this plant will thrive. What makes Tiger lotus plants so popular is its reddish-green to deep red leaves with darker spots that are often purplish in color.
As it grows, tiger lotus plants will display its large leaves below the surface of the water while simultaneously sending lily pads up to reach the surface. It does well as a midground to background plant, but because it is so impactful, it can make a great stand alone plant as well.
Note: The leaves are fragile and may be damaged in transit, but there is no need for concern because the bulb will sprout new leaves within a couple of weeks.
Customer Reviews
It came with quickly and with leaves. I was one day out from tossing the bulb after a week because I thought it had all died off and melted away after putting it in my tank but luckily I saw one tiny new leaf and it’s turned into my most favorite plant I’ve ever owned. Definitely recommend it!
Showed up quickly, already had leaf shoots and roots, i literally just plopped it into my new 55 gal and within a couple days it was showing growth.
I'm around the 8 week mark for my Tiger Lotus, and it has already sent 2 lily pads to the top of the surface and has leaves around the size of my hand! The bulb came with one dead leaf and one half torn leaf, within a week 2 large ones started shooting, then about every other day a new leaf started emerging!!! If I can post a updated picture I will, but I LOVEE this plant and it grew so fast and is so healthy. I added CO2 around 4 weeks in but it was growing healthy and fast with only root tabs, easy green, and sand.
Received in only a few days and the plant looks nice and healthy. I am treating with Alum as a precaution against eggs, but I did not see any snails.
Came with leaves, trive in my tank
