🌺 Transform your tank into a tropical sanctuary with the Red Tiger Lotus!
The Nymphaea RUBRA Red Tiger Zenkeri Lotus is a live aquarium bulb that rapidly grows vibrant red and brown spotted foliage with pink flowers. It thrives in a broad pH range (6.5-8) and adapts to both low and high light conditions, making it ideal for betta tanks. Its floating leaves provide natural hiding spots for small fish, while the bulb can naturally propagate by splitting. Optimal growth occurs in 22-27°C water with iron supplementation.

Well packed, fast delivery
Started to grow really fast. Only a few months and the little bulb with no visible growth to fast growing, amazing colour leaves will be buying more.

Waste of money buy one with leaves.
3 months and the bulb has not grown , ive had many red lotus over the years can only think the bulb is a duffer waste of money. I have high power lights and good plant tab substrate so it should have shown some movement by now.

24 Days of Growth in Pictures
Absolutely fantastic! This plant grows like mad! We just plopped it in on the 23rd of April(As shown in the first two pictures, these are just overall tank pictures, we didn't expect it to grow so fast, or I would have done a day by day as it is so interesting!) The third picture (where it looks like an alien crawling along the tank) was six days later! The last two pictures are from today, (17th May) A few of my snails have tried very, very hard to eat it, and we have Columbian Ramshorn Snails that tend to destroy plants in a short time. (Which is why that one plant is covered, whilst we move these guys into a different tank with plants we don't mind them decimating on the daily.) As you can see, it is growing very well. You read that correctly. This is 24 days of growth. Our tank is still cycling. It has only been up and running for those 24 days. If you are planning on buying this, it is a lovely plant, will grow nicely for you, it will strive to reach the surface where it will flower if it does so. Get that flower out before it begins to wilt. Unless you want lots of them. It has a second method of propagation; as it is a bulb, it can split! As the recommendation is just to drop the bulb in, not bury it, you can see the bulb. So, if you don't want more, keep an eye on it. (Which I am quite looking forward to seeing tbh.) For optimal growth - This plant likes 22c to 27c temperature water. We also use a liquid fertiliser, specifically with iron. (We use API Leaf Zone, the iron is vital for vibrant red leaves.) And a liquid Co2 booster if you don't have a co2 system. (Again, we use API Co2.)

Great buy
Absolutely brilliant, I wasn't expecting much looking at the bulb but after a few weeks a lovely red plant that just keeps on growing and sprouting, highly recommend and if you take care of them they just keep on giving

Lack of instruction on how to plant this
No instructions on how to plant this within the tank

Beautiful, but not red.
When the bulb arrived I has reservations about whether it would do anything, and for a while it sat in the bottom of my tank doing nothing. About two weeks later some tiny little sprouts started to appear. I have had it maybe two-three months now and its a gorgeous plant! It grows so well and looks beautiful in my tank, the only reason this gets 4 stars and not five is that the plant is green. I dont know if the leaves would go red with less lighting or a c02 setup, but this wasn't explained to me so ? The plant is still stunning, the leaves have an irridescent quality to them and the fish and critters love swimming through it as it waves in the slight current of my tank. One of my favourite plants in my tanks so far.

Not recommended sadly.
It looks like it had leaves but it's died, not happy at all, i have loads of these and this is the worse one I've had delivered, very disappointing. Not at all like the photos

Molto soddisfatta, ottimo qualità-prezzo
Sono veramente contenta di questo acquisto, era la prima volta che ho acquistato un pianta viva su internet, inizialmente avevo parecchi dubbi su come e cosa poteva arrivarmi e vedendo quel bulbo privo di foglie e radice mi stavo pentendo, ma già dopo una settima nel acquario ha iniziato a cacciare foglie e a quanto pare ha trovato anche il fondale giusto x radicarsi. Ultima foto l’ho fatta adesso dopo quasi un mese dal acquisto ed è veramente una pianta bella da vedere. Consiglio vivamente questo bulbo.
