Aponogeton sp. Red Bulb Pack

This bulb pack contains dormant corms of the undescribed Aponogeton sp. 'Red', a collector's item prized for the striking burgundy-to-deep-red leaf colouration that develops under bright, full-spectrum light and iron-rich fertilisation. Growing from bulb stage allows the aquarist to observe the gradual intensification of red pigmentation as the plant matures and its root system establishes.

Initial leaves from dormant bulbs may emerge with a greenish tinge before the characteristic red colouration develops over successive leaves. Bright light and CO2 supplementation accelerate this process. Iron supplementation is particularly important for the development and maintenance of deep red pigmentation.

Each bulb pack contains individually inspected, viable dormant corms from cultivated stock. This format is ideal for collectors wanting to grow multiple specimens for comparative study or for aquascapers wanting a reliable source of these striking red-leaved plants to establish as centrepiece background features.
