It is known for its triangular leaves and, as its name states, its deep red coloration. It can grow to a very large size of 30+ inches tall and 20+ inches wide under optimal conditions. It will sometimes flower when kept in shallow enough water or emersed conditions, so it is a terrific plant for paludariums as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare for Dwarf Aquarium Lily\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is very easy. Its bulb base must not be completely buried in the substrate or it will rot. In fact, burying just 1\/4 of the bulb in the substrate should be sufficient. Also, this warm water plant will sometimes quickly deteriorate if the temperature is too low. Finally, it will periodically go through dormant periods where it will shed its leaves for a few weeks, but then grow new leaves.

It propagates through shoots, and once new growth has roots of its own, it can be cut and replanted. \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note that this plant can emit a chemical that is somewhat harmful to other plants that are in very close proximity (i.e. - constantly touching the lily), so it is necessary to give the Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily adequate space. If this is done, it will not harm other plants\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. Its growth can be controlled by regular pruning, limiting lighting, and\/or confining the bulb and root structure to a contained space such as a glass container. Trimming its flowers before they wilt will also inhibit seed production. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIn addition to its attractive appearance, Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e provides a valuable refuge for aquarium animals, especially dwarf shrimp, nano fish, and fry.
