Dwarf Aquarium Lily (Plant with Bulb)

Dwarf Aquarium Lily (Plant with Bulb): Dwarf aquarium lily supplied as a plant with bulb. Leave the bulb exposed when planting.

Dwarf Aquarium Lily is a beautiful bulb plant that originates from India. They have reddish leaves and are relatively small (height of less than 5 inches), which makes it a great foreground or midground plant. 

Care for them is relatively simple, but the bulb must not be buried or it will rot. Place the bulb on the surface of the substrate and the plant roots will find their way down into the substrate overtime. They do not require high light and are extremely hardy plants that can grow in a variety of water conditions

Before adding to your aquarium

Remove the shipping packaging and any pot, planting wool, or weights as appropriate. Rinse and inspect the plant, and quarantine new plants separately before introduction. Choose planting depth and substrate for the species. Keep rooted crowns and bulbs from being buried too deeply, and remove damaged leaves during establishment.

Match temperature and lighting to the plant and your livestock. This listing is part of our general freshwater plant range; browse our axolotl plant selection for more focused options.
