Cohen Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) I bought this dwarf Lilly bulb about 2 months ago and I got it sprouted already. It has been showing very little growth and don’t know what’s wrong. The PH and water chemistry is fine. What do you think?

Colu Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) They can take a while to get going you just have to be patient after a while it will just take off Edited June 30, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarina Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 What's the temp of your tank? Lily plants in general like it warmer (I find they thrive around 74-78°f) and can go dormant or grow very slowly in cooler temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Wow, that is really slow growth. We have one that is two weeks old that is going nuts with growth and its an unheated tank. Does it have some nitrates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 You can put a root tab under it and that can accelerate it a little bit they do what they want. As others have said bulb plants can go dormant for a variety of reasons or just go very slow. Other my dwarf Lilly and my aponogetons have done that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameCzar Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 We did give it a root tab when we kicked off ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
