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)

wrong plant August 24, 2010
Reviewer: Michael B Stewart from San Diego, CA United States  
8/10 response: Plants received not red Tiger Lotus as was indicated on invoice! Most likely are one of the much larger night blooming tropical WL's which will have a pink or red flower. The Red Tiger with a white flower is very small even at its full size. It has a small creamy white flower. Mature surface leaves are predominantly green.

The leaves of the other species/variety that I received are developing into large saggitate (arrowhead like) leaf form with a strong rather even bronzy and reddish overlay with a few irregular darker blotches. A red tiger lotus should have broader submersed leaves that are more greenish with a slight pinkish or redish overlay and many small darker blotches or spots.

I am quite dissappointed that I did not receive the red tiger lotus as this was the primary objective for my plant order ...hence the 3 stars! Plants received still are worthy subjects.
...8/23 update: have 4 new plants, of the 8 total 1 is most likely Red Tiger Lotus...

amazing plant/well worth the money March 4, 2010
Reviewer: Jonathan from Bozeman, MT United States  
I bought this plant some months ago as a single bulb with just a tiny root showing.  After sticking it in the substrate, it grew fairly quickly into a full-sized plant.  After reading some of the other reviews here, I decided to cut the bulb from the plant and try growing another plant from the bulb.  It worked and I soon had a second tiger lotus.  All in all, I now have four tiger lotus plants from my one bulb and they all look amazing.  Quite possibly the best plant purchase I have ever made.

Beautiful!! February 9, 2010
Reviewer: Donald Buckles from Hauppauge, NY United States  
What a georgeous plant.  Arrived as a bulb with a few growths on it.  After 1 week,  numerous beautiful rose colored leaves with green fringes have developed;  Just keeps sprouting new,   beautiful leaves with no special care required.  An absolute beauty for any aquarium.

How to plant? February 5, 2010
Reviewer: Ruud de Jonge from Indianola, IA United States  
I ordered and received two of these bulbs, one arrived with very small roots, and one with no roots. Anybody can tell my how to plant this 'no rooted' bulb?
I guess it does not really matter how to plant it; after about two weeks growth is showing!
I am curious how it will develop from here!
After 4 weeks both plants are growing steadily.

A must for the tank January 26, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Alpharetta, GA United States  
It came as a tiny bulb; I put it inside my substrate and it came up really nice in a week time. Now after a month it has got 4 to 5 leaves with great size and beautiful color. I'm so happy with the plant.
