I love these plants. beautiful color and nice and low. I disagree with a slow grow time though, mine is growing noticeably every day. Given the right conditions, these things explode.

I got my lotus as part of the "assorted bulbs" package and in 3 months the leaves are huge. it even sent one up to the surface so I hope it will bloom.
1wpg lighting, no co2 or ferts, just fish.

Mine is in a corner of my 6 gallon and it must have 30 leaves in only 3 months. The irridescent color is beautiful.

Beautiful plant. Got it as a bulb and i have 5 quarter sized leaves already in about 2 weeks. Root tabs, flourish, trace, excel, and medium light have showed very quick growth for me.

My Tiger Lotus grew basal leaves very quickly. Within approx. 4 months, it also grew leaves that floated on the surface, and then sent out a bud. I was able to coax the flower bud through an opening at the side of the tank's top, and it bloomed a beautiful magenta flower outside of the tank. My tank is near a shady window and gets plenty (too much) light. Very cool. It has done this twice now, and I planted it in Feb. 2009.
