Description: This auction is for 1 Red Tiger Lotus bulb which is already growing root system and leaves. You will receive a 1 inch in diameter or larger bulb which has at least 4 or more roots growing and 3 or more leaves forming. The plant height with leaves is roughly 6 inches up to 12 inches, a already very healthy plant! The items in the photos are of full grown bulbs to show what they will look like in your aquarium. The second photo is of my aquarium. The last photo is a representation of the bulb you will receive, not the actual bulb. I will attempt to send a photo to you via eBay message of the actual mat you will receive. I only ship out Monday & Tuesday of every week to make sure your plant has a minimal or transit time. Also check out my other auctions all have BFFGA in their titles. One type has green leaves streaked with purple, while the similarly striped red variety is--of course--ruddier. Natives of West Africa, these "tigers" (sometimes also known as Nymphaea zenkeri or maculata) are actually water lilies rather than lotuses, though with heart-shaped rather than round leaves. They are often recommended for aquariums because they tolerate temperatures from 68 to 85 degrees and ph levels from 5 to 8. They also provide a contrasting hue to the solid green of most other water plants, and can even produce white, night-blooming flowers about 2 1/2 inches across.Their main drawback is that, if you allow them to reach the surface of the water, they will block light from reaching other plants beneath them. Although relatively small for water lilies, they can still cover surfaces 30-some inches above where they were planted and make leaves up to 6 inches across. For that reason, some people cut off all the floating foliage and only allow what is submerged to remain. This will prevent the plants from blooming, but they are usually grown for their colorful leaves rather than their flowers anyway.
