This spectacular red aquarium/paludarium lily is a true "centerpiece" plant that can grow to an impressive size and it can also produce beautiful flowers! 

Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily (Nymphaea zenkeri) is a remarkable red bulb plant that is native to Africa. It is known for its triangular leaves and, as its name states, its deep red coloration. It can grow to a very large size of 30+ inches tall and 20+ inches wide under optimal conditions. It will sometimes flower when kept in shallow enough water or emersed conditions, so it is a terrific plant for paludariums as well.

Care for Dwarf Aquarium Lily is very easy. Its bulb base must not be completely buried in the substrate or it will rot. In fact, burying just 1/4 of the bulb in the substrate should be sufficient. Also, this warm water plant will sometimes quickly deteriorate if the temperature is too low. Finally, it will periodically go through dormant periods where it will shed its leaves for a few weeks, but then grow new leaves. With quality care, the Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily will grow at a moderate rate. It propagates through shoots, and once new growth has roots of its own, it can be cut and replanted. Please note that this plant can emit a chemical that is somewhat harmful to other plants that are in very close proximity (i.e. - constantly touching the lily), so it is necessary to give the Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily adequate space. If this is done, it will not harm other plants. Its growth can be controlled by regular pruning, limiting lighting, and/or confining the bulb and root structure to a contained space such as a glass container. Trimming its flowers before they wilt will also inhibit seed production. 

In addition to its attractive appearance, Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily provides a valuable refuge for aquarium animals, especially dwarf shrimp, nano fish, and fry. Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily can easily flourish and grow to become a major centerpiece of the planted aquarium!

Like most plants, Red Tiger Lotus Aquarium Lily has moderate nutrient requirements and will benefit from supplementation such as Seachem Flourish, Flourish Excel, Nitrogen and other plant supplements. 

No aquarium plant distributor/nursery/wholesaler/retailer can or will guarantee their plants to be 100% snail free. We can not guarantee our plants will be snail free.

 

***PLEASE NOTE - This plant can sometimes arrive as a bulb with no leaves attached. This is normal, and in most cases, new leaves will sprout within a few weeks. If your Red Tiger Lily bulb loses its leaves upon arrival, please plant it as usual if the bulb is still firm and healthy. If it does not begin to re-sprout, please contact us and we will honor our live arrival guarantee and replace it or credit you!

Wide and comfortable office chair
Color: Black, Style: Classic, Color: Black, Style: Classic
It's made of very fine leather and in good quality. It has a pump to pump air to the back of the chair, so I can adjust the softness of the chair back. It's a very wide chair. Maybe the widest one I ever bought. I can only sit half of its space. It's very easy to install, the alignments are perfect. Its arm and height is adjustable. The wheels are advance ones which make it move through the floor smoothly. It looks an advance chair if you want an upgraded experience.

Comfortable Seating
Color: Black, Style: Classic
I honestly didn’t expect this chair to be this comfortable, but it has exceeded my expectations in every way. I sit at my desk for long hours every day, and the adjustable air-pump lumbar support has been a total game changer. I love that I can fine-tune the firmness depending on how my back feels that day. My lower back pain has noticeably improved since switching to this chair.The seat is wide, thick, and very supportive without feeling stiff, which makes long work sessions much more comfortable. The armrests are another big plus—they adjust in so many directions that I can always find the perfect position for typing, reading, or relaxing. The chair feels extremely sturdy and well built, and it gives me confidence knowing it supports higher weight without wobbling.Assembly was straightforward and took about 20 minutes. Overall, this chair feels premium, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, all-day office chair.

Nice chair, w/ good cust support
Color: Black, Style: Classic
I apologize for length, but if I am doing a review for other people I assume you want to have as much info as possible to make a decision. I feel this chair is for tall/fat/both so will review it as such. At 6’4” @ 350lbs I fit into both, but reviewing based upon my body, yours is different so adjust according. TLDR – Would buy again, cavernous comfy chair with excellent customer support. Only personal dings against chair are the back could be taller, but added back due to support. Parts + Fit/Finish + Assembly: The parts have some heft and feel solid as expected for a chair designed for heavy people. Material and stitching look proper and I see no flaws. My box was beat to hell and ripped opened at one point. Packing material took the hit and did its job as the items were unaffected. The gas cylinder for the chair was missing and assume lost during shipping. (see customer service). Assembly was standard office chair fare with simple and clear instructions. Wheels / Height / Controls: I normally wouldn’t think of mentioning wheels, but it’s different than expected. They are good, maybe too good. A slight kick to push you back on wood floors sends you flying. The height adjustment for me is good/standard. At full height my feet are flat on the floor and where I would have the chair even if it went higher. My wife (5’6”) at that height is about 2.5 inches above the floor. Taller people than myself may wish for more height. Chair controls are standard fare and operate smoothly Seat: It’s large and with the arms is there is nothing even close to your hip/legs. I can put my fist on my hips and my arms barely touch the chair arms. This is why you are thinking of this chair, and for that you will not be disappointed. The seat is not pillow soft and IMHO a little firmer than I liked at first, but after a few days got broken in or I adjusted. I am a programmer + gamer so spend a lot of time in the chair for hours on end. Comfortable and no complaints at all. Seat depth for me is ~1” from my knee and good with roughly 20.5” usable butt/thigh length. That should be fine for big/tall but may be a bit much for big/short. Measure your current chair and decide from there. Back: The back lets the chair down a bit for me, the big/tall user, as the target seems to be big/short users. The back ends just below my shoulder-line. That obviously means no leaning my head back and the headrest is squarely on my shoulder blades. Not uncomfortable, but I’d prefer a taller back. For me personally I’d like it to be extended 4”, but that would likely be an issue for shorter users. I feel if the manufacturer increased the back by 2 inches it would be an ideal compromise for all users. The chair has an inflatable lumbar support, which I did not use as I personally find those uncomfortable. Also note the chair is designed for a more proper posture with a 90deg back and not a more relaxed 100-110deg. Neither pro/con as personal preference. Arms: The design of the arms being supported by rear only as mentioned earlier allow for an abundance of hip/thigh space. This is an excellent ergonomic design with a potential caveat. More stress will be placed upon the connection/joint. The joint for this chair is just shy of 4” so seems beefy but only time will tell if it holds up to the lateral force of leaning on it while reading. My chairs tend to last 5-7 years, due to the right arm feeling wobbly or the chair leaning to the right. The arm adjustments provide a nice front/back of ~3”, from touching chair back to 3” gap between chair/armrest. The height is similar and also moves the armrest forward about another 2”. At full forward/up the armrest are higher than I like so should easily accommodate taller users. Customer Service My chair was missing a part that I suspect was lost during shipping due to box condition. I contacted them Sun (7/20/2025 @ 1201). At 2228 that night I received a response that they acknowledged the issue and gave a tracking order for the missing part. The part arrived Mon 7/28 and gave a few days to test it out for review Fri (8/1). Obviously you don’t want an issue, but if an issue arises how a company handles it tells you a lot IMHO on how they feel about their product. I am very pleased with their handling of the matter.

Great Chair
Color: Black, Style: Classic
The durability, recline, noise, fit, and appearance, and stability of the chair were all fantastic. As someone of a shorter height, the backrest which is normally way to high or short for my head fits perfectly. The chair itself is easy to assemble and very comfortable to sit in for long hours. I tend do a lot of work at home and this chair feels very comfortable without feeling the need to get up. The chair looks great set up in my office and is honestly a great office chair. For moving around a room, the wheel guides across my carpet very smoothly with struggling unlike my previous chair which would need a heavy push. Not only that, the chair is noiseless which is a plus for people who get bothered by little sounds when moving around. The fit could honestly fit anyone of any size as the chair itself is quite wide and roomy for me. The seat is also made up of faux leather and feels well stitched and quite durable.

Decent Price
Color: Black, Style: Classic
Chair arrived and was missing critical component so that I could not assemble it. Contacted seller and they sent me a similar component within 2 weeks. Chair was now easy to assemble and very comfortable to use for long periods. Although I wished it could raise another two inches. Also be aware chair might be challenging to get thru a standard 29-30inch doorway but not impossible. Thank You Seller for your help.
