如何修剪与繁殖Tiger Lotus？
Cut floating-leaf stems at the base if you want a submersed-only plant — doing it from the start trains a bushier underwater rosette; remove leaves that reach the surface so they don’t shade plants below. Propagate from daughter bulbs on runners (detach once rooted), or from seed if you let pads grow so it flowers; dividing the mother bulb works but is risky.
Tiger Lotus有哪些常见问题？
All leaves dying back leaving only the bulb — dormancy, often after a cold spell or stress; a soft, rotting bulb from burying it too deep; floating pads shading the tank — natural habit, encouraged by weak light; crowding out other plants through fast growth and a big root system.
如何解决Tiger Lotus的常见问题？
Leave the bulb in place (or store it damp) — it usually resprouts after one to a few months; set the bulb only a third to half into the substrate with the top and shoots exposed; trim pad stems at the base and raise light to reduce pads; prune regularly and consider a pot to contain the roots. Put root tabs beside the bulb plus complete liquid fertiliser; extra iron improves the red.
