I was looking at the store and I'm just a bit confused!!! I am misremembering information from the older store descriptions or maybe just older plants that aren't carried.
Can someone please help me to understand what these plants look like and how to handle them? The goal is to have a bit of a "bush" style plant in the big tank and then to propogate it out, then add it to the shrimp tank and let them have midwater stems and a bit of cover.
Tiger Lotus vs Dwarf Red Lily
Do they need root feeding / nutrients at the roots?
Do they both get red?
Do they both get same size?
Do they both shoot pads to the surface? (I assume I can just cut them if need be or leave 1-2 of them.)
Is there an issue if the pads get wet on the top surface?
Any idea which one of them is used here?
Thanks for the help. Feels so exciting/weird/nerve wracking to be diving into new species and especially types I've never kept! I'd enjoy hearing others experiences and issues with this plant. I am trying to find things that have the right size/scale among other factors. I need to order some more ferts here eventually and I always am eyeballing these two trying to decide which to try out.
I'll add this, from the plant database website and it's basically the only real source of information I have. This is for the red tiger lily, but they don't have an article for the other one.
