A beautiful African Lotus plant, brilliant red colors with spots. The leaves will start out low and some runners may extend with some leaves floating on the surface. Medium hardy plant. Keeping the long runners pruned encourages bottom growth.
We import these from Guinea, West Africa...these are absolutely georgeous specimens...this is one of the most beautiful plants you will ever see...no dissapointments...guaranteed!!!
Note: Your plant may either arrive as a full plant or a sprouted bulb. (early growth bulbs are less likely to be damaged during shipping)

WOW October 19, 2009
Reviewer: Brian Rogers from Mount Ida, AR United States  
I recieved the bulb with about 1/2 inch sprouts.  Planted and within one week it was 2-3 inches tall.  Week 2 it is same height but the leaves have filled out a lot, great dark maroon color.  Very beautiful plant, would recommend to anyone.

IMPORTANT READ THIS!!! August 30, 2009
Reviewer: Hannah Anderson from Hermitage, TN United States  
If you get a bulb with no sprout at all, plant it above substrate in light, wait no more than 2 weeks.  It shouldn't even take that long, but if two weeks goes by and nothing - you've got a dead bulb (it happens.)  

Mine arrived with a little sprout, grew quickly of course.  Plant is very delicate and beautiful.  After first sprout grew a few roots, I pulled it off the bulb and planted it by itself.  Bulb produced another sprout and first is doing well, so I got 2 for 1!!  Great stuff.  

Ordered a dozen different plants, 2 were DOA, 2 died shortly after, but the rest were all gorgeous and bigger/fuller than expected.  Death may be due to 2 day shipping instead of overnight.

Tiger Lotus Red-Extremely Easy & Gets Huge! August 15, 2009
Reviewer: Dawn from McKeesport, PA United States  
I've purchased this in the past and received it as a bulb.

Never did bulbs BEFORE this and buried it completely beneath my eco-complete substrate...to my suprise a few days later and I already had 2 tiny stems with what looked like teeny leaves curled up into theirselves.

Within a couple more days I had several leaves that i'd compare in size to that of a oak tree leaf...less than a month later and I had lilly pad sized leaves that were absolutely gorgeous and easily reached to the top of my 90g.

A definate centerpiece to say the least, but be careful as this can/will shade other plants...so think out the placement BEFORE just tossing it beneath the substrate as I originally did.

Love the plant August 11, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Indiana, United States  
I love it!  It was very small when I got it but it took off really fast, and has lots of new growth.  It is definitely everybody's favorite in the tank.  You won't find anything this beautiful in a pet store!
