what's a bard? []
Get to know that red tiger Lotus should have bard. I have two big one without the bard but still grows well. Please advise if this plant with bard is better? Thanks.

Ooops...I may have use the wrong word to describe. I do not know how to call that but it is something like a small disc structure at the root area. If all the leaves are gone and you still have this disc structure, this plant should survive and the leaves will grow again. Hope this clear up a bit. Sorry if I mislead anyone.

well I bought 2 tiger lotus recently, one from Teo with a small piece of "bard" and one from Ah Pek with no "bard". The barded one growing like crazy, the unbarded one went to become lotus plant in nirvana already []

Bought one very small Red Tiger from Ah pek sometime back and now it is still growing fine. Cannot see any "bard" but still can grow well. Do not know whether with or without will make any different; but, definitely would want to try those with the "bard".
Only Teo carry those? I'm staying in the east...hummm a bit too far. Any other place? Thanks.

AnA, Teo is very friendly, provided you speak Hokkien and can arh-ka-liao. He will go to the pond and select a nice plant with "bard", it looks very pathetic at first (should trim away most leaves) but within couple of days the "bard" will produce lots of nice leaves.

the one with the bigger rhizome will do much better
be prepared for the rhizome to dwindle to almost nothing while the plant gets established
only after the plant starts growing well will it put nutrients into the rhizome again
imagine the rhizome as a reserve of nutrients... the lotus i got from teo, super slow growing.. 1week and almost the same as the day I planted.. seen some red tiger lotus at havelock last weekend.. very nice and healthy
Simon you never greet Teo with the SAF hokkien greeting isit?----------------

LOL... I exempted from that choy the one I got isnt the regular lotus.. the leaves are rounded and red spots on them, not patches like the tiger lotus
Simon,
Try Jobbes sticks. Worked really damn well for me.......
I have yet to add any jobes, since the plant is super small.. hoping it will stablize in my tank and grow alittle b4 I start stuffing jobes
