I found it. It was still in the breeder box. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had got a Lily bulb a while back and it never grew! The Coop refunded me. I want to try another one but I'm wondering if it had something to do with my parameters that it didn't grow.

FLFishChik Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) @Craig Halstead Last checked they were Ammonia 0ppm, Nitrites 0ppm and Nitrates between 20-40 ppm. No idea the kh/gh because I’ve got to get a testing kit this weekend, but according to the city I live in, we have soft water ( though I question this) and my ph is 7.6 Edited July 29, 2022 by FLFishChik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are super easy to use and seem to be accurate! What's your tank temp? How long do you have your lights on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tank temp stays at a constant 78 F and my lights are on for 12 hours per day (from 8 a.m. - 8.p.m.). I just have a standard light that came with the aquarium kit I bought... nothing fancy. I saw the test strips and thought about purchasing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFishChik Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Today’s progress… It’s my BIRTHDAY! I had to move the Lily back a bit as it was pressed up against the glass. Trying to re-bury all the roots was a struggle, but I got most of them! The pic was taken just before I moved it. Hopefully I didn’t hurt it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
