Tiger Lotus (Nymphaea Zenkeri)

This listing: 1 Tiger Lotus (Nymphaea Zenkeri)

Description: A beautiful and relatively simple plant to maintain, the tiger lotus has broad, wavy-edged leaves and variegated color pattern; it can bring a new and stunning aesthetic to any aquarium where it is often a focal point due to its unique colors and leaf shape.

IMPORTANT: If ordering the bulb, do not bury the entire bulb or it will rot. If the bulb is floating at first, wait for it to become waterlogged enough to sink. As the roots grow into the substrate, they will firmly anchor the bulb in place. You can expect new leaves to grow within a week.

• Quarantine: Live plants need to be quarantined before introducing to a closed system such as an aquarium or water feature. Unwanted pests and hitchhikers such as snails, larvae, and eggs, are common and to be expected, unless the plant is grown in vitro aka tissue culture/lab-grown. A 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip is generally recommended for most plants; so if you want to be sure your plant is 100% sterilized against unwanted pests or algae, please perform a bleach dip, and always wash and rinse plants before introducing them to any new environment. Direct Message us if you need help doing this.
