Red Tiger Lotus Bulbs - Freshwater Aquatic Plant | Sprouts in Tanks Under 72F

The product is goods the only is I payed 12.99 for bulbs and I only received one tiny bulbs very disappointing

This is the third time I've ordered bulb flowers and they never grow so this is definitely my last time waste of money I followed the all the directions to the t still nothing

I love this plant! I received it as a bulb and the tiny stem had fallen off it during shipping. I still planted it (half buried in sand) and it began growing after about a week. Two weeks later it had already grown some leaves, but I was concerned that it wasn’t getting enough light so I attempted to move it (stupid I know). I didn’t realize that the bulb had already established an extensive root system, and I accidentally detached the plant from the bulb in my attempt to relocate it. The plant still had roots so I left it planted where it was, and then moved the bulb to the preferred location and waited. The plant left behind lost its leaves and eventually died over the next month, but the bulb re-sprouted and grew quickly. I attached a photo I took this morning that is approximately 2 months regrowth. 😊 They’re very resilient little plants, I would definitely buy them again.

Sprouted pretty easily within a month (it takes time for the seed to sprout) and sprouted two more times in the next 2 years. Impressed!

I ordered 3, only one bulb sprouted. Was asked to return them but was not sure how to send back a scoop of mush.

I was very skeptical when buying this product but I love lotus plans that I’ve seen when traveling in Asia. The description sounded pretty honest and was clear that the bulbs only grow under certain conditions. I thought I would take a chance and I didn’t think I was going to get any results but after a few months I noticed these brown leaves popping up in my tank. Sure enough even with the Brazilian penny wort growing overhead it’s doing really well. I have dwarf frogs in this tank and they like to hop on the lotus leaves and then climb on top of the penny wort to hang out on the surface and breathe. Overall this is a lovely addition to my tank and I will be ordering more for two other tanks that I have. They do take quite a while to get going and I did not think it was going to produce so you do have to be patient with them mine took about three months before being evident that it was growing. My water is about 15 inches deep in this tank, which has mixed tetras, a beta (no issues btw) mystery snails, dwarf frogs and plecos. All in all this plant is a lovely natural addition to the tank. The one star was just taken off because of questions about the germination rate, how long they take and not all bulbs are probably always going to be viable. Overall these are really neat. Ps the stems are short, about 8-10” in high at most. Leaves are 3-4” in long. They really are striking in the purple orange and green color is hard to describe. Because they stay small they are nice in the tank. I wish I had room for a full size lotus but that would be ridiculous. Anyway really delighted with this plant. Ordering a few more.

At first i was very skeptical and mad about how expensive it was for only one bulb, but the second i put the bulb in the tank it sprouted and all my anger and skepticism disappeared. My tank is above 72 degrees(its usually at 76) with a sanded substrate. The only thing I did was to just let it sit on top of the substrate without burying it and let it be. A week earlier I also bought a pack of 4 bulbs at petco for $7 and only half sprouted. Just goes to show why paying a little more for a bulb makes a big difference. I have been having it for about a week now so i will give y'all an update on how it is growing. It is an AMAZING PLANT and so far, I highly recommend!

The plant was defective. I followed the instructions to the T and no signs that the plant was going to develop. It’s been over 3 weeks. Very disappointed
