Hi,
I've been keeping a Tiger Lotus in a jar, when it arrived it had split from the bulb so I planted both as advised by the seller, all good.
Some duckweed and more recently (a week or so) frogbit in the jar, and some Monte Carlo as well, all doing pretty well.
The Tiger Lotus looked great (to me at least!), here's a photo of it from 10 days ago.
Bulb is putting out shoots, plant has nice red leaves, happy me.
There seemed to be a tiny bit of algae but nothing major.
Suddenly all the leaves fell off and floated to the top of the water, duckweed seems to be suspended rather than floating.
I top the water up daily but only with a spray bottle, this weekend I added more than usual as the Tiger Lotus was approaching the surface.
No major disturbances, dosed with a little profitio, literally a drop, other than that not a thing changed.
I'm baffled. Any idea what might have happened?
