Lilly Bulbs
I recently bought some lilly bulbs that I'm planning to put in my
aquarium, which I haven't started yet. The package says it contains Nymphaea Lilly bulbs (red or green). I'd like your opinion/experience whether these plants are a good idea or not. I know very little about aquariums or aquarium plants, so I'm taking it slowly. Thanks in advance. -- 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ http://www.intergnat.com/pussygames/ |

I have one of those growing - I got the package at Wal-Mart. It started with leaves just above the bulb and is putting out surface leaves now, much like a regular lily. It's an attractive plant. The only thing that would be a problem is if the surface leaves block the light to your other plants. I understand that they can eventually bloom if there is enough air space above the water. -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com |

I have several of these as well that I grew from Wal-Mart bulbs. I just
trim off the leaves ( at the base of the stem ) before it reaches the surface. A very pretty plant and easy to care for if you don't mind the trimming or large leaves at the surface.
