Description

Dwarf Aquarium Lily

Sometimes confused with another plant called the Red Tiger Lotus, the dwarf aquarium lily is slightly smaller in size. With spade-shaped leaves in a brownish-pink hue, it adds a little more interest and life to a tank that is full of green background plants.

Native to India, your dwarf lily belongs in the midground of your aquascape. Most of the time, this plant won’t grow any taller than 5” in your tank.

Care & Maintenance for Dwarf Lily

This aquarium plant does not have any special requirements and will do well in a variety of tank/water conditions. It does, however, appreciate some extra fertilization and iron supplements to help the plant produce a more intense red coloration.

  • Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate
  • Temperature Range: 71-83°F
  • Tank Placement: Midground

The size of the leaves a dwarf aquarium lily grows will depend on the amount of light you have in your tank. Dimmer tank lights will result in leaves that are spread out and that grow on longer stalks reaching upwards toward the surface of the water or source of the light. They may also be greener in color. Brighter tanks or those with more intense lighting will cause dwarf lilies to grow more compact leaves on shorter stems with a more intense red coloration.

Planting

When you receive your dwarf lily, first make sure your tank temperature is adequate, as the plant will deteriorate in cooler waters outside the water temperature parameters. Then, simply bury the bulb into the substrate, and watch as it grows!

Typically, your dwarf lily may go through dormant cycles and lose its leaves. Don’t panic! When in a good growing environment, they’ll grow back in just a few weeks. Similarly, when your lily arrives, give it some time to adjust to your water parameters and in no time the plant will produce new leaves in your tank.

Dwarf Lily is also available potted. Have questions about this dwarf aquarium lily set? Reach out to us today!

    The lily arrived in excellent condition, and has adjusted to my betta tank well. The aquarium is in my kitchen which has an abundance of natural light, and is growing more dense and developing a lovely red hue, just as the description says. Very happy with this company. They are my go to for aquascaping.

    The plant arrived in great shape! I was very pleased to see how healthy the plant was. After soaking it in room temperature for over 24 hours, I planted it in my aquarium. I hope it likes it’s new home.

    Beautiful plant

    It's nice that the bulb is already sprouted. There is no question as to whether you received a good bulb or not. It hasn't even been a full week and it is already growing beautiful dark bronze leaves. The stems closest to my substrate are also dropping roots already.

    I’m very pleased with this product so far. I received it quickly and in good condition. It was a bulb with no sprouts, but it sprouted within two days of placing it in my aquarium. It’s growing quickly. I’m excited to see it progress!

    It’s only just now sprouting- so quickly after receiving ing the pods. It’s currently making the water murky but that temporary I’m sure. I love it.
