A beautiful bulb that develops with lovely brown/red leaves. These will reach to the surface of your aquarium making them particularly useful for tall aquariums. Similar to Nymphea lotus, but the leaves are more pointed as opposed to rounded.

The leaves can become quite large and offer excellent protection from the light for fish such as discus. This aquarium plant is unlikely to cause many difficulties in the aquarium as it grows in a wide range of water conditions. It can survive in warm water (up to 30 degrees) and is ideal for a discus tank. When placing in your aquarium, simply place it on the top of your substrate - do not push into the substrate or they will rot.

Service good, plant not so good

Arrived quick but so far nothing has happened. No shoots no roots no nothing at all. Another one i bought however has sent out 3 inches of shoots so now the tank is a bit wonky looking.

Just like garden bulbs, they have a dormant period depending on when they have been harvested and where they have been harvested in the world. Most bulbs arrive with us having no sprouts so we cannot provide timescales as to when they will 'pop' but know that they always do eventually as long as they've been planted correctly (i.e. half in half out of substrate). Hope this helps to explain.

Perfect bulb. Just the right size, and had a couple of tiny shoots and one leaf so I knew it was alive and kicking. It is a joy to watch grow!

Of the 2 I bought 1 has shown a couple of tiny leaves, but that's all. However the other has grown in spectacular style! Lovely leaves at substrate level, and several on the surface

I received the bulb in almost exact conditions as per the image in the online store. I had to place the bulb in a bucket with a fresh water as my new tank was not yet ready. To my surprise the bulb started producing roots and new leaves while in the backet. Once placed in the tank it continued a healthy grows pattern. Now the bulb is rooted nicely and I have a beautiful view with quite a good number of leaves that grew and stayed close to the bulb with constant emerging of new shoots that quickly reach the top of my tank (i keep trimming them from time to time). Very happy with my purchase.
