Nymphaea lotus (zenkeri) - Tropica Aquarium Plants
Nymphaea lotus (zenkeri) - or the Tiger Lotus - is recognised to be among the most graceful aquarium plants. It is a quite variable species and the leaf colour may vary from bright green over red-brown to red-violet. It is without comparison the most suitable Nymphaea species for aquarium purposes because it sets numerous water leaves before floating leaves are produced. When floating leaves are produced the plant easily sets flowers, too. A nice odour escapes from the flower which, however, only opens during night-time. If, on the other hand, floating leaves are unwanted due to the strong light competition, newly formed floating leaves and longer roots may be removed. The plant thereafter begins to produce water leaves. Nymphaea lotus (zenkeri) is an unpretentious plant though a nutrient rich substrate is required to sustain optimal growth
These plants are recognised as some of the most beautiful and robust aquarium plants on the market. Over 150 different varieties are normally available for freshly harvested delivery.
