OceanTruth Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Nice! Once it gets really going leaf production seems to get faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenman Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 You're lucky. Here's a photo of mine when it arrived on 1/06/2021 and also a shot of it this morning 3/05/2021. The only difference is mine is now wetter. No growth at all. It's not rotting, so that's good, but it's not growing either. It's just sitting in a big old hole I made in the middle of my planted tank for it. I pulled it out and put it on a paper towel to get a better photo. I've rotated it. Examined it frequently. And nothing. It just sits there. I'm to the point where I'd almost want it to rot so at least I'd know it won't grow. Word of advice to potential buyers, don't make a hole in your planted tank for the lily until you know it'll grow. Otherwise you may be staring at that hole for a couple of months or longer.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 My first lily sprouted in 5 days. New lily has been in tank for over 2 weeks and still nothing - it's covered in fuzz (normal) and not mushy, just sitting in limbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenman Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Mine has gone past the fuzz stage and is just a large brown lump now. I check it every day hoping to see some sign of life, but there's nothing. It's not rotting, so that's good, but it's also not growing. I'm to the point where I want it to do something. Grow, rot, just change in some way. Two months of nothingness is getting a bit tedious.

sreding Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I've had no luck with these - I've tried 3 times - all have eventually rotted. My other plants are doing great. Really wish there was a better way to get them to sprout - I'd love to have a couple lillys in my tank.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenman Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 They say there's a 5% dud rate, but mine has gone nine weeks now with no growth. The Coop is sending me a replacement so we'll see if that one does anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
