Centrepiece lily which will flower in the large or open aquarium. Nip out new surface leaves and longer roots, to stop surface spread. More underwater leaves will form if surface leaves are trimmed, these can vary in colour from green to red. 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.

Please note: This plant arrives as a bulb and should be planted as follows...

How to plant:  Push the bulb gently into the substrate in your aquarium, with the bottom two thirds of the bulb in the substrate, and the top third sticking out.  The top is the more pointed end of the bulb.  Your bulb will soon establish.  We endeavour to send out our bulbs with new leaf growth, however this occasionally isnt possible.
