Notes
The Tiger Lotus is widespread in tropical Africa and colonizes a wide variety of waters there - temporary ponds and lakes on the one hand, but also flowing waters on the other. It has a tuber as a storage organ with strong floating leaves. The most beautiful thing about this plant, however, are the submerged juvenile leaves, which do not reach the surface of the water. Of the two color forms, the red tiger lotus is the most popular among aquarists; however, its green color form is rarely found in the trade. Tiger lotus are quite undemanding, older and larger leaves are always removed at the base of the tuber.

Easy to care for and undemanding.
The 'Sunset' variety is a beautiful cultivated form for the medium to background. Cultivated in the open air, its leaves are very striking with a white-yellowish veining; under water, the plant displays its full range of colors from light pink to deep pink. Like the normal H. polysperma, this variety is also easy to care for and undemanding. Most other colored stem plants are somewhat more difficult. A good dose of iron fertilizer also promotes the color intensity of the shoot tips. At 4 cm, the leaves of Hygrophila polysperma are smaller than those of the stem form and are therefore also suitable for nano cubes.
