Nymphaea lotus ("zenkeri")- or the Tiger Lotus - is recognised to be among the most graceful aquarium plants. It is a quite variable speciesand the leaf colour may vary from bright green overred-brown to red-violet. It is without comparison themost suitable Nymphaea species for aquarium purposes because it sets numerous water leaves beforefloating leaves are produced. When floating leaves are produced the plant easily sets flowers, too. A nice odourescapes from the flower which, however, only opens duringnight-time. If, on the other hand, floating leaves are unwanted due to the strong light competition, newly formed floating leaves and longer roots may be removed.The plant thereafter begins to produce water leaves. Nymphaealotus ("zenkeri") is an unpretentious plant though a nutrient rich substrate is required to sustain optimal growth.
