Dwarf Lily Bulb
The dwarf lily bulb is a beautiful plant that will grow several stems with large, broad leaves. It looks great in any fish tank or betta bowl.
When we receive our dwarf lily bulbs, they do not show any growth. Small leaves should sprout within two weeks. If no growth occurs, the bulb may have gone ‘dry’. In that case, remove the bulb and contact customer service—we will credit your account for the bad bulb. Only about 5% of bulbs from our source do not sprout, though it remains a matter of chance. Whenever possible, we ship bulbs that already show sprouting.

The dwarf lily bulb arrived in good condition and sprouted small leaves within two weeks. It looks very attractive in my fish tank and grows well with minimal care. I appreciate the clear instructions on how to handle dry bulbs.
Anthony Harris –
I received a bulb with no visible growth at first, but after two weeks, small leaves appeared. It’s a nice addition to my betta bowl. The plant spreads nicely and stays healthy with regular water changes.
Irene Walker –
The scientific name was listed correctly, and the plant has grown into a full stem with broad leaves. I was happy with the shipping and the prompt response when I contacted support about a dry bulb.
Ella Gibson –
It took slightly longer than expected for the leaves to appear—about three weeks. I followed the instructions, but I wish the bulbs were more consistently sprouting. Still, it’s a pleasant plant to have in the tank.
