Pizzafan Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 … makes me feel like I’m good at growing aquarium plants, when indeed, I am not 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I think it beautiful. That little bunch of green ...I would add like 2-3 more right around the Lilly and it would look great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott P. Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Your lily looks great. I have one on the way for my tank. My first try at a lily. I hope it turns out as nice as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it turns out as nice as yours. I bought 2 bulbs from petco for $4. One was a complete dud that just got moldy in my tank. The other one exploded after about a week. The foreground lily was an offshoot I cut off that seems to still be growing (albeit slower than the ones attached to the bulb). This is 2-3 months since I bought it so they grow fast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lefty o Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 if you can manage to get the bulb to sprout, them things take off rapidly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebSills Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Yeah, I've had one in my tank for about a week and it hasn't done anything...I'll leave it for another week just on the off chance it does something. Yours looks awesome!!! I hope I can get mine (or a new one) to look that good someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can go dormant which can take a bit more time for them to sprout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Lilly Bulb was without sprouts for probably 2-3 weeks before I started seeing little leafs starting pop up. Be Patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
