FLFishChik Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Isn’t it beautiful! Now comes the race to the top. They got a ways to go, but I don’t think it’ll take long! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Happy Birthday! Sometimes they put out underwater pads before they produce surface pads. That’s actually my favorite stage since you get to see their best color under the water. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s growing ridiculously fast in my top fin 29g that I got as a kit (came with the cheap LED lights under hood). https://www.aquariumcoop.com/products/dwarf-aquarium-lily-bulb-only Edited August 2, 2022 by FLFishChik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFishChik Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 And here we are! Both stems have made it to the top of the tank! So, I think I’ll limit my posts now for any significant growth or if it sends out new pads! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I saw on this video she was talking about the dwarf lily, she loaded that thing up with root tabs. She put a "ring of root tabs" under it, as part of regular maintenance. She said it's a heavy heavy feeder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that really other than the Lily, the only other plant in the tank that might need a root tab is the Argentine sword... so I can concentrate the root tabs around those. I think giving the lily a root tab once a week with the ta maintenance might be good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 To tell you the truth, I’m pretty new to root tabs. Not sure how long they last in the tank before you’d have to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been going by the directions on the bottle that say 1 monthly under each root feeding plant... but if @Irene says they are greedy little root feeders and is dosing more frequently for her RDAL, then perhaps I should too, lol. I'd hate to have invested so much time following this plant to lose it because it's not getting enough. ( I wonder if I should name it Audrey..

Opie Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Got my first lilly about a week ago. Expected weeks for growth, but mine is on the same schedule as yours. I am very excited to watch it grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leaf was totally melted and had fallen off the root. Here is the root with the little bulb. I don’t have much hope for it, but I planted it by a root tab. Did you’re little lily ever recover?

Even directions are all different. Some say replace monthly, some "as needed", and some say every 3 months. 😞 I tend to always forget, but once you start to see deficiencies it's when I add more. Am I awesome at plants... NOPE. Thank goodness Anubias doesn't need any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness Anubias doesn't need any. Yeah I’m keeping track of enough stuff, I don’t need to put root tabs on the schedule too. I will be doing the same. If it needs it, I will add the root tabs.

Now it’s “how many lily pads will it produce this week?” So far, I have 3 pads on the water surface and 2 more racing to the top! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFishChik Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 And here is where we are today 08/09/2022. I have officially named this lily “Audrey 2.1” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFishChik Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 And this plant has quickly become the monster in my tank! 7 pads on the surface, numbers 8 and 9 on the way. I’ll be trimming pads back soon… but, WOW! Audrey 2.1 is super healthy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFishChik Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 I’m slightly afraid of Audrey 2.1 now. If she keeps growing at this rate, she’ll need her own tank😂. Pads 11 and 12 are on their way up! I think it’s time for some pruning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
