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.

Nymphaea Zenkeri, also known as Red Tiger Lotus, is a beautiful aquatic plant that hails from West Africa. This aquatic plant features bold coloration and large foliage. Dependent upon its environment, Nymphaea Zenkeri (Tiger Lotus) can display leaves that are green, red-brown, bright pinkish red and rich maroon hues with purple spots. Due to its coloration, Tiger Lotus pops extremely well in a planted aquarium tank and has the potential to grow extremely large. Its lilies will sit on the water’s surface and if left to grow without maintenance, this aquatic plant can shade plants below from essential lighting. If you prefer to not have leaves shooting to the surface, pruning will be very important in preventing this growth behavior. Like all aquatic plants, Nymphaea Zenkeri will do best in an aquarium tank that has clean water, good aquarium lighting, CO2 injection and a nutrient dense aquarium soil. As mentioned, this aquatic plant can grow quite large and is best suited for larger sized aquarium tanks.

Tiger lotus!

"I bought 2 tiger lotus plants and received them in only a few days! I Am happy with the amount of Lilly’s the plant had,The tallest stem was about 10”.Unfortunately I had a prune a few Lilly’s from the plant due to leaf damage. I expected the plant to be stressed from being shipped in 100 degree weather. But now the Plants are doing really well. Instead of the green color of the Lilly’s the picture shows mine arrived with red spotted leaves, they complement the greens in my tank and my dwarf Lilly’s plant as well :) i haven't had to much Vertical growth out of the stems yet but I have plenty of new growth coming out of the substrate with healthy Lilly’s. I think its due to my tanks high lighting."

Beautiful, healthy plants!

"The tiger lotus I ordered from Glass Aqua arrived looking beautiful and healthy, and they are now swaying gently in the current of my 180g tank. In my experience, great plants that enhance your tank on day one are not a given, but Glass Aqua comes through, and I would recommend them as a reliable plant source."

Arrived dead :(

"Most of my order was in perfect condition, but the Tiger Lotus arrived looking dead. Planted it and waited over a week and it didn't bounce back. Have not yet been able to get a refund or replacement."
