Hi
I purchased a nymphaea lotus bulb from aqua essinatals, and luckily for me it had already started growing.
I have looked on google and youtube and it seems pretty basic, just drop the bulb and let it do its thing.
However my bulb has no roots, but it has 2 runner type stems, then 2 plants attached with roots. So my bulb has produced 2 plants it looks like, and there attached to runner type things. I read somewhere people cut the plant off from the bulb then plant it. I'm not sure about doing that.
My problem is the current in my tank is just pushing the bulb around, If I dig it in to a hole in the substrate the flow lifts it up, and I cant keep it in place. Can I now bury the bulb? I'm confused as many things I read say the bulb is the plant, and that's where the roots are but not with mine. So what's the best way to stop it being dragged along without burying it.
Should I just wait till the plants roots get bigger then bury them into the substrate?
