Nymphaea Tiger Lotus

The tiger lotus is a type of water lily commonly used in aquascaping. Its bright red leaves can grow into a large and stunning specimen when planted along with green stem and carpet plants. Under high light and with the addition of CO2 and fertilizers, the leaves can turn deep red with speckles of orange and brown throughout. Although it can grow in lower light, the leaves tend to be drabber and will turn bronze colored. This plant can send leaves all the way to the surface like other water lilies.
