Dwarf Water Onion Bulb (Zephyranthes candida)

Add graceful vertical movement and unique texture to your aquascape with the Dwarf Water Onion! Growing from a small, scallion-like bulb, this hardy plant produces slender, bright green, reed-like leaves that sway gently in the current. It is an easy-to-care-for centerpiece or background plant that provides natural shelter and grazing spots for shrimp, nano fish, and fry.

• Low maintenance: Great for beginners; does not require high tech or CO2 setups.
• Planting depth: Do not bury the entire bulb! Press the roots gently into your substrate while keeping the top half to two-thirds of the bulb exposed. Fully burying the bulb can cause it to rot.
• Lighting: Moderate to high.
• Placement: Midground or background (looks best planted in small clusters).
• Temperature: 68 °F - 82 °F.
• Nutrients: Appreciates root tabs or nutrient-rich substrate.
• What to expect: Bulbs are shipped dormant or with small starter sprouts. Once planted in your tank with moderate lighting, they will quickly sprout lush, green leaves within 1-2 weeks!
