Picked up a couple of packs of aquatic plant bulbs from Exotic Aquatics yesterday, i've never seen bulbs of aquatic plants for sale before. Has anyone else ever grown aquatic plants from dried out bulbs? What an easy and convenient way to store plants you are interested in for a period of time without needing to care for them...
a long time ago i purchased some from petco or petsmart or sometihng...i never saw a single of those plant sprout... i have though gotten bulbs of lotus of some sort from John G. a while back and still have plants around, those were not dry though

I recommend starting those in a jar or glass with alot of light and little else. The times I tried those in substrate in a tank they rotted out but I have gotten growth by using a spaghetti sauce jar on a windowsill

but the rainbow wont wait while you do the work
yeh, I was going to put the bulbs in a shallow culture flask w/ an inch or two of substrate and 3-4 inches of water... stick it on the window sill and let it go.
