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 got this for my son's tank, came quickly and in great shape. Thanks Flip Aquatics.
When this plant arrived, she was beautiful and now more than six months later she’s even more beautiful!!
They came in absolutely beautiful and will ordering more plants in the future.
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.
Glad when it came
