Red Tiger lotus

The Red Tiger Lotus is a beloved tropical lily among aquarium enthusiasts for its striking appearance. The Red Tiger Lotus features vibrant reddish leaves and can even produce fragrant flowers under optimal conditions. Surprisingly easy to care for, the Tiger Lotus thrives in well-lit spaces without requiring specific care.

Although fertilizer can promote growth, it may lead to the development of long-stalked floating leaves on the Tiger Lotus that can block light from other plants. However, the leaves on the Tiger Lotus can also bear beautiful white flowers, enhancing the tank's aesthetics. The Red Tiger Lotus adapts well to various water conditions, tolerating both acidic and alkaline environments, as well as temperatures ranging from 15°C to 30°C. Regular removal of long-stalked leaves ensures that lower plants receive adequate light, maintaining a balanced aquarium ecosystem.

I couldn’t possible say anything better for this place. All of my plants came alive and I cannot believe that for both dwarf plants (tiger lotus and dwarf lily) they gave me grown plants instead of just the bulb. I got some other things too like an Anubias golden, and some other stuff. The bigger plants like pennyworth, water sprite, and others were HUGE so it immediately made my just started tank look a bit more established. This will now be the ONLY place I order plants from.

I just wish the red floaters I got were a bit bigger. That was the only thing that I don’t know if it will go successfully as it looked a bit melted. But everything else is amazing.

Beautiful will be getting more of these. I want to have at least one in all my tanks. Trick is to not let the lily pad hit the surface so it stays full and I just learned that. Low light no CO2 and loads of color which is rare. This is probably my favorite plant. You get a plant that looks like the photo which is why I will buy mine from Flip Aqua from now on!
