My beautiful Nymphaea micrantha has lost all of its leaves. Can anyone tell me what I need to do with the bulbs so that it will grow again? I am assuming it is like the Madagascar lace plant where it loses its leaves and comes back next year, but I never had any luck getting those through the dormancy.

Thanks,
Ethan

last year i took out the bulbs of the a. madagascariensis and place them in the sun for a few hours to get dry. after they dried out, i placed them in a closed plastic bag and placed them in the fridge , a few weeks ago i put one of them in my tank and - voila , new aponogeton leaves within a few days
