Tonina 'Lotus Blossom' - Rare Plant

Tonina ‘Lotus Blossom’ is a rare and delicate aquatic stem plant known for its distinctive cup-shaped, rosette leaves that resemble lotus petals. It is best placed as a mid or background plant.

It thrives in soft, low-alkalinity water with high lighting, CO₂, and stable nutrient levels. It will take a period to establish when introduced but will speed up in growth.

Plant the stems closely together in a bunch. This creates a bushy effect while allowing the plant to grow without shading each other. High light, rich and stable nutrients and CO2 will enhance plant colouration.

Trim and replant healthy tops to encourage side shoots and more vigorous, compact growth. Trimmings can be replanted to propagate. Cutting will also promote more vigorous growth.
