Red Nympholia Lotus (Nymphaea lotus 'Red') is a striking red-leafed aquatic centerpiece plant, prized by aquascapers and shrimp keepers for its bold color contrast and easy care. Native to tropical Africa and grown from a nutrient-storing bulb, this plant develops broad, deep red to burgundy leaves that add instant visual impact to any planted aquarium, paludarium, or nano tank. Under strong lighting and a nutrient-rich substrate, it grows quickly and can occasionally produce delicate lily-like blooms. Vivid red-to-burgundy foliage that intensifies under high light Beginner-friendly and adaptable to most freshwater setups Great centerpiece or focal-point plant for aquascapes Shrimp and fish safe when acclimated properly Available as a full plant or as a starter bulb Care tip: plant with only the top of the bulb exposed above the substrate to prevent rot, and trim surface leaves if you want the plant to stay fully submersed.
