Description

A beautiful and very varied species from West Africa with leaves of green to red-brown and varying numbers of purple spots. Can grow from 20-80 cm tall. Before forming floating leaves Nymphaea lotus (zenkeri) forms many underwater leaves. If you don't want floating leaves, prune the roots and leaves. The beautiful, aromatic flowers can be fully appreciated in open aquariums. A nutritious bottom encourages growth. Often available in a red and a green variety. Recommended as a solitary plant for large aquariums.

Amazing Growth
By Luke from Guelph, Canada on January 23, 2024
This very unassuming little bulb is now the star of my tank. You can almost watch this thing grow! I just dropped it in the corner and it took off sending broad leaves to the surface and roots deep into the aqua soil substrate.

Excellent product.
By Joe from Guelph,ont, Canada on April 23, 2022
Can't wait for it to fully grow. Been looking for this for awhile, luckily it was in stock. Leaves are growing a nice reddish hue. Like always angel fins delivers another excellent products and customer service is top notch.

So far, so good!
By Em from Montreal, Canada on April 13, 2022
My bulb arrived ready to plant, with several tiny red sprouts. It seems to be adjusting well to its new tank (it's planted in Fluval Stratum, with occasional root tabs). Can't wait to see it grow.

I got a rock
By Esmée from Guelph, Canada on June 27, 2021
I almost thought it got missed in my order but then I spotted the dark 'rock' with very small shoots on one side. From my experience with land bulbs I knew it was full of potential and it delivered! In a short time I already have several large leaves and a shoot headed to the surface! So very pleased with all of my orders and many more to come.
