READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.

Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.

Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Crinum Thaianum is a unique aquarium bulb plant that belongs to the lily family but closely resembles something else we all know. Its bulb looks like an onion—earning its common trade name, Thai Onion or Water Onion. When mature, this aquatic plant develops long, ribbon-like leaves that can grow very large if allowed. Due to its potential size, it’s a great option for anyone with a large planted tank or sizable pond where it can fully flourish!

Important Note: This listing may or may not include a fully mature plant. Please ensure you are prepared to care for bulb plants at all growing stages.

Aside from space requirements, Crinum Thaianum is an easy aquarium plant to grow and keep. It’s undemanding, and the reward outweighs the risk in this case. Established, mature plants will occasionally bloom fragrant lilies that rise to the water’s surface and last for some time. A great live plant for enthusiasts who enjoy keeping aquariums or similar setups long-term.
