Wow, absolutely beautiful plant.

I just began growing it myself, and came across your image here. I am now so excited for mine to grow out more per your image, the leaf texture and shape is so unique compared to most. My Pygmy Corys enjoy resting on its cup shaped leaves as well, so it has a practical usage alongside its visual beauty.

Thank you for posting!

How do you trim it? Can you 'teach' it to be less tall?

 

[Kwyet]

I’ve heard that you can, but I haven’t tried to train it. I just periodically pull the whole thing out and replant some of it. Any part that has roots can just be cut off and planted and it’ll take right off.

If there is interest I will sell some of mine. I am awash in this and red tiger lotus.

It's hard to tell from the photo, how big do the leaves get? I might be interested in some in a few weeks.

PSA when they get to the surface they go two toned as well.

What is your par? Mine don’t do that. I have 100 par at the substrate now.

100 par at sub and 300+ at surface per photone. So big asterisk on the values. It also does it on my lower light tank which is 30 sub and maybe 150 surface been a while since I checked it.

Interesting. Can you post a photo?

Thanks! I don’t think that’s a Taiwan Lily though. The leaf shape is different.

You are probably right the tank has 3 species and the nymphoides is practically intertwined with the other green species. I am surprised the other lily stretched that far. While the Taiwan goes everywhere.
