This may be a question more for the plant forum. I can't offer any expertise on keeping plants, I much prefer lifeless rocks, and plastic/fabric replicas of fauna, but I know at one point I purchased plant bulbs and found them to grow to a very stunted existence, probably because my tanks aren't highly hospitable to plant life. What are you tank readings in the department of pH, hardness, etc? It may be that the lily bulbs require very specific conditions to grow, which may not be currently found in your tank.

I tried a couple varieties of these once in an outdoor tank in the summer. None of them grew, I think it was due to the packaging and handling. Any type of true lilly is going to require way more light than you can provide in an indoor environment. Scott
