  1. This one has grown directly under the light. My first one is slowly wilting.Thank you everyone for the positive feedback this has been a pleasant experience.
  2. So the flower closes during the day and opens at night. It fully opened up last night but I wasn’t awake to get a picture. hopefully I will catch it tonight but great news a SECOND bud is emerging. Yay.
  3. I was getting lotus vibes from the flower for sure. I too have Nymphaea Stellata it goes by a lot of different common names some including the word Lotus. I got it from aquarium coop. I forgot to mention I use easy iron. I’d say making the plant extremely happy is the biggest goal.
  4. I’m glad you found it interesting and exciting as well! It is fragrant and smells similar to most flowers.
  5. Beautiful! I left the light alone and she is opening up. @Hobbit so your flowers stayed and would reopen?
  6. Update! I contemplated hanging my light over the tank so the bud could keep growing in the right direction after @Hobbit mentioned this. Today it has grown passed the light. Maybe it’s about ready and has ignored the light to bloom. Not sure what’s gonna happen. Any thoughts…should I leave it be, or hang my light above the tank?
  7. Very helpful thank you. I don’t have any aquarium books but am interested in them.
  8. A little taller today. I have kept about 3-4 pads at the top at all times. Been pruning when the tank gets noticeably dimmer. Heavy amounts of root tabs and I triple the dose of Easy green. That’s what my plants seem to eat up within a week and a half. I wouldn’t recommend just tripling the dose for everyone. As far as equipment I have a Fluval 3.0 and aquarium coop medium sponge filter. I have kept the temp between 76-80*F. I have super Hard water. And high Ph about 7.6 I have include my 3.0 settings in a picture. Hopefully this can be of some reference would love for more peeps to be able to flower there Lilly’s. Hopefully the flower will open 😬 Thanks I call the gold one Golden lol. How tall did the buds get out of the water if I might ask?
  9. I’m sorry to hear that. I had bad luck with three that never sprouted leaves, like they were duds. But I took another chance….maybe you could too. 😀
  10. Update! She is out of the water ladies and gentlemen. I think she is a flower. One of the coolest things I’ve done in the hobby lol I’m over excited.
  11. Thanks for the responses. It sure doesn’t look like a new leaf and I thought I’d need c02 to flower any plants. But this is great!
