Rotted and clouded my tank, avoid!
Bought this about 3 weeks ago in my local store. Planted in a cycled tank I'd just done a deep clean on. The two bulbs that were in the package were placed 3/4 deep in gravel substrate. I gave them 3 weeks to show growth; They both were unviable and rotted, clouding the tank. I took them out and they smelled like sewer rot. This is my second try with this product, I do not recommend it, and think Petco should not carry it. Imagitarium's aponogeton bulbs have been viable and successful in my experience, but not the water lily.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Rotting molding bulbs. Disgusting
Bought a week ago and came with 3 bulbs.
All 3 were covered in what I now know is mold. Didn't realize that till after I put them in my new tank to cycle. Now I have to wait to make sure the mold doesn't spread to the whole tank.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Great plant, but depends on bulb
Purchased one month ago. Package contained two bulbs. One didn't make it, but the other became a healthy and vibrant plant. Overlapping red and green leaves with multiple lily pads at top of 15" tank.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Thank you for sharing! We’re glad you were able to establish a thriving plant and that it’s adding color and coverage to your tank. Your experience with mixed results is helpful insight, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it.
Worked for me. Seems like a gamble
Bought them a month ago in store and didn’t have any of the mold problems other reviews are talking about. Had three bulbs in the packaging and two sprouted within 2-3 weeks and the third one is now sprouting at about the month mark.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Thank you for sharing! We’re glad to hear your bulbs sprouted well and that you didn’t experience the issues mentioned in other reviews. It’s great that two came up quickly and the third followed in time. We appreciate your feedback.
Not worth it
Thought I'd take a chance when I saw these in store yesterday, but like others have said, they were covered in mold. Save your money & just buy from a reputable aquatic plant seller.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Product Consistently Unacceptable
I have bought these on two separate occasions and both times the bulbs were covered in white/grey mold. They do not grow. In fact, every time I go to Petco (2-3 times per month) I check to find good ones as I would love to have water lillies in my tanks, but I have NEVER seen healthy bulbs in stores - and I've been to multiple stores.
No, I do not recommend this product.

These bulbs are in a large brown "something." It looks like a wad of cardboard, Am I supposed to break open the wad of cardboard to find the bulb? If I put it in the tank, as is, it just floats without showing any signs of the wad opening. ???
- Hi Peggine, Good day! The bulbs in that lily pack are not wrapped in anything. The “brown wad of cardboard” is the actual bulb. Normally they will sink right away, but sometimes it might take a couple days for them to get water logged. If you partially bury them in the substrate that will help keep them from floating. Thanks,
