    Already sprouted.

    All the bulbs came with leaves already sprouted. I love these plants, they always look great as they mature. In the past they have even flowered.

    Doubter to Believer

    Posted by Lachlan on May 13th 2022

    These Tiger Lotuses were a rollercoaster. Firstly I didn't read well enough and expected something similar to the picture, not a bulb with three leaves. Once I re-read the listing though I understood my mistake and started the waiting game. First the initial leaves melted away and I was very disappointed, but after about 2 weeks one of my 3 bulbs sprouted and started doing fairly well. Now 2 or three months in, I have one giant plant, one about 1/2" tall and one just sprouting and dropping roots. I suspect I will have 3 huge lotuses in 2 more months time. I have yet to prune it as I want a lot of verticality, but I suspect I will have to soon. Awesome purchase.

    I am thrilled with these. I purchased 2. Both were sprouting upon arrival. They were placed into a 7.5 gal betta tank and both are about an inch -two from the top in a 14.5" tall tank after 5 weeks. Beautiful plants. My entire order arrived healthy and well packaged. Highly recommend.

    Love this plant - I have several in my tank. The oldest one just sent up a bud which bloomed into a very pretty white flow with a pale yellow center.

    I received Root Balls instead of Plants, but they seem to be Sprouting I am Optimistic that they will be Flourishing soon.
