Hey everyone

I have a Red Lotus plant that seems not to grow from this stage it won't send any long leaves to the top of the tank to catch more light maybe to grow a little faster.
What do u think i could add to the water to get it going very well looks a bit brittle or weak i think..

thanks for ya help..

Try a fertiliser table next to the plant make sure you push it well under the gravel you should see an improvement in about 2 weeks,
Azoo red tabs, seachem flourish tabs, red sea flora root tabs ect

Yep, fert tablets!

I use Sera's the one for ponds since its more concentrated...

I place 2 tablets under each small plant, and it grows nicely.

As well as all the above posts.
Co2! You may be already injecting Co2 I don't know, but I have the green version and Co2 made a big difference.
