alexyay Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 :smot: but what plants do you guys consider having bulbs? If swords - does that mean I should be planting them slightly higher than I am? (they're shoved right into the substrate - might explain why my E uruguayensis isn't growing (at all... every other sword is fine except for that stupid one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Bulb plants such as: Tiger lotus, Barclaya longifolia. Its a little ball at the base of the plant and will usually go rotten if left buried fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 With swords you just bury the roots and leave the crown and leaves out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
