if the bulb falls off of my tiger lotus will it die?

Mine did this once the plant was established with no ill effects shown afterwards.

But keep the bulb ........ it might very well produce new growth.

You can place the bulb in a cold spot (refridgerator) for a week or 2. I learned this trick from a friend and it really works. After placing it back, it will start growing again.

very nice, I have two bulbs spare, ill chuck them both in the fridge, in water or?

Good question! I just placed the bulb inside without water or anything. It worked... Before it didn't do anything, placing it back in the water it started growing again.

 

[Jason Stanford]

ill try it anyway, see what happens, thanks for the reply

Not in water, no - but keep it moist, when in fridge (fx. wet paper). The idea is to simulate natural cycle; ponds drying out, temp. dropping and bulbs staying dormant in the mud, until flooded again.
