FOXFIRE: The amazing tropical waterlily. Can bloom 3 days and up to 36hrs without closing.

The amazing Foxfire, loved by most who have seen her was developed by Craig Presnell, one of the parents being Ampla, a large species waterlily. Grown very large in the south the adult plants can get 15 feet across easily but only after many months of growing, lots of sunlight, and about a 20 gallon pot. Smaller and just as amazing plants can be grown in a 2 or 5 gallon pot. I recommend Landon Fertilizer. Use 1/2 of the recommended dose as its very hot. The leaves are bronze with mottling. Some can appear green with mottling but its rare. The plant can easily be contained to 5-8 feet by simply trimming pads once a week. Make sure you water temp is above 70 all the way to the bottom of the pond for tropicals to bloom properly. If using plant tabs I now add 6 tabs per 1-2 gallons of water every 25-30 days. 1 Tab does nothing.
