Nymphaea Lotus

Nymphaea lotus is a striking aquatic plant native to West Africa, known for its beautiful, varied foliage that ranges from green to red-brown with distinctive purple spots. It can grow between 20-80 cm tall and initially develops numerous submerged leaves before producing floating ones. If floating leaves are undesired, regular pruning of the roots and leaves is recommended.

This plant thrives in nutrient-rich substrates, promoting its robust growth and aromatic flowering, which is best appreciated in open aquariums. It is often available in both red and green varieties and serves as an excellent solitary centerpiece for larger aquariums.
