The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo.

Introducing the magnificent Crinum thaianum, a remarkable bulbous plant hailing from the beautiful landscapes of Thailand. As a member of the lily family, this botanical marvel boasts elongated leaves that can reach an impressive length of 60 to 200 centimeters.
When cultivating Crinum thaianum, it is essential to provide it with ample room to flourish. To accommodate its growth, a large mother plant like this one has been nurtured, gracefully expanding within a 9 cm square pot. When planting the bulb, ensure that the top two-thirds remain exposed above the soil level. This precautionary measure prevents the bulb from succumbing to rot, allowing it to thrive in optimal conditions.
As this exceptional plant matures, it occasionally sends forth a slender flower stem, reaching towards the water's surface with great finesse. At the pinnacle of this ascent, a fragrant and elegant lily flower unfurls, enchanting all who behold it. The harmonious blend of captivating aromas and the timeless beauty of this flower creates an unforgettable spectacle, adding an ethereal touch to any aquatic environment.
Crinum thaianum, with its distinctive attributes and undemanding nature, is truly a testament to the marvels of nature's creation. Immerse yourself in the enchantment of this botanical wonder as you witness its remarkable growth and the emergence of its alluring, aromatic lily blooms.
Product details
1. Go large
Xl Plants are the biggest plants available to hobbyists and sometimes extremely impressive, especially in the summer time. Pots are typically 9cm+ but the range is fairly limited so if you see one you like, best to go for it.
Why is the range limited in the winter?
Plants grow much slower due to the weather and the cost to heat gigantic greenhouses. As a result, in the cooler months plants are typically 30-40% smaller than they are in the warmer months.
2. Planting up
Due to their size, they're best positioned towards the back of your aquarium. Of course, some of them will be better tied onto wood or rock (like Anubias). It is possible to leave these plants in their pots if you prefer, but we always recommend that where possible, you take them out of their pots and rockwool, and plant them in a nutrient rich soil. Bear in mind the plants may have extensive root structure but this can be trimmed prior to planting.
3. Feeding
How much food do they need?
Due to their size, larger plants need much more food than the 5cm potted plants so this has to be considered when planting.
What fertilisers should I offer?
We always recommend using both a nutrient rich fertiliser and a liquid carbon for all plants. Use Neutro T as a liquid fertiliser and Neutro CO2 for your carbon. Both are available in big bottles and if you are injecting pressurised CO2, sway the Neutro T for Neutro+.
Are root tabs needed?
If you want to get the best from your plants, so they stay strong, grow faster and produce better colours then yes. Use TerraTabs for best results. Insert 3 under each XL plant every 4 months.
