Usually sold as a tuber with a small leaf or two, they should be planted in the substrate, with the leaves facing up and above the substrate. Although small in terms of water lilies, these are not small plants!

If you let it get away from you, however, and it is producing lots of floating leaves, all is not lost! Snap off ALL the leaves and “train” it to stay under water again. On the other hand, you might enjoy seeing it flower in your tank. In that case, the water level should be far enough below the cover and\/or lights, that the flower bud can fully develop. It will open at night and close during the day. Keep in mind, however, that floating leaves will shade your other plants. So a Nymphaea lotus that is allowed to flower should probably be kept in a tank without any light loving plants below it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNymphaea lotus\u003c\/em\u003e 'Red' is a very heavy feeder. It will develop offset plantlets under good conditions with enough food. These can be separated off and used in other tanks. If the tank is not fed well enough, your Nymphaea could starve your other plants. So be sure to feed regularly. This is a plant where a soil based substrate and\/or regular addition of good quality, nutritionally complete plant tabs can be a big help. It grows well even without supplemental CO2, but like all plants will show it’s best if CO2 is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNymphaea lotus\u003c\/em\u003e 'Red'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e     Zenkeri lotus, red tiger lotus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e         Nymphaeaceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e                 Low-high\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRequirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e        Undemanding but a heavy feeder \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e         Bulb \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e           Fast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Aquatic:\u003c\/strong\u003e           Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement in Tank:\u003c\/strong\u003e   Specimen plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe offer free shipping and buy 2 get 1 FREE on all items with (BUY 2 GET 1 FREE) in the title\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eHow BOGO works?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply purchase 2 of the same kind of plants marked as buy 2 get 1 free and we will send you a 3\u003csup\u003erd \u003c\/sup\u003eportion free with your order. You must purchase on the same transaction. \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eIMPORTANT:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotos are a sample representation, not the actual plants you will receive.
