My fish tank plants wont grow?

Question

i bought these bulbs that grow in to plants for my fish bowl and its been a month and they didnt grow at all

Answer 1

I think the plants you bought are called apontegon and sometimes called wonder bulbs because you wonder if they'll grow as long as there not molding I would give them more time there worth the wait maybe increase the light and temp

Answer 2

there is a plant food your supposed to put in the tank. and make sure you have enough co2 for them to survive.  

Answer 3

Mabe the arent underwater plants and they died.

Answer 4

Every package has duds which is why the typically sell so many together.

If they were Java Fern or Betta Bulbs they typically need light and heat to grow fast (12 days to sprout). However without a light or heater they can take up to 20 days.

If the bulbs have started to mold or getting fuzzy take them out before they mess with the water quality.

You can actually start Java Fern bulbs in a couple inches of water placed under a 60-100 watt light bulb for 12 hours a day, no fish necessary.

Answer 5

I got those once, same thing.

You're better of going to the store and buying already growing aquarium plants.

Answer 6

do you have a light

Answer 7

Those waterlily bulbs don't last forever,perhaps you got some old ones. Give them a little more time and then go back to the retailer and complain.

Try to buy some from a water garden supplier next time.
