tolstoy21 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I have a well established red tiger lotus in one of my aquariums. It's a few years old now and seems to have actually propagated itself into 5 plants clustered together by the looks of it. If I wanted to remove and relocate one of the bulbs is it as easy as just pulling it out of the substrate? Or is there anything specific that i should know so I can successfully move one of these in a new aquarium? Any tips would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarina Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Tiger lotus has a kind of crazy root system, if you try to pull one up, it may take half your substrate with it, and probably other nearby plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like when I removed a large sword a year ago. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably would have been impressed had it not been so messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
