Petsmart bulbs?

[aquariumboy]

I bought some Petsmart bulbs and I wanted to know from your experience if they are good? Also on the picture I assume the two big bulbs are the Aponogetons and the one I'm between them is the onion plant but of the ones on top which is the water Lily? Also should I bury them like the package says or let them lay on top of gravel until they sprout?

I bought them once and most of them sprouted. Some I buried and some I left on top of the substrate. There wasn't really any difference between the bulbs under or above.

However I did not buy them again because I would rather buy plants with a good amount of leaves and roots already.

One Aponogeton bulb is floating should I leave it like that or partiality bury it in gravel?

If it's floating I would bury it.

I bought the same Saturday. I only have one large one that is about 1.5 of your large ones. I believe that is the lily. The other in the bottom Is onion and the other top ones are the aponogeton. One of my aponogeton has sprouted and the onion has sprouted. I will lost pics later. The two sprouted ones sunk fairly quickly if not immediately. The lily sunk fast too but no sprouts yet. One other aponogeton sunk fast but no sprouts yet. I had two more aponogetons that floated and got soft after a couple days so I got rid of them. In Hindsight I should have kept them to send in for exchange...darn

Today two bulbs have sprouted. One is the water onion and I don't know what the other one is. Can you'll help me find out which bulbs are the ones with ??? in the pictures I'm going to upload? Also one bulb is still floating. Is this one a bad bulb or should I wait some more?

I would just give them some time. The floating one maybe try to find some way to keep underwater? It might stay sunk after that.

Mines have all sprouted. I guess that's good luck since I've heard mixed reviews about the bulbs.
