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.

Very impressed with the bulb that was picked out for us. It even had a baby extra plant in the pot. I am amazed by the quality. A new leaf each day!! Before and after pictures attached. It’s only been about 2 weeks.
Healthy and look just like the photo. Excited to see how big these guys get!
Hope it grows to the top
