Category: Aquarium Plants

Lilaeopsis brasiliensis (Brazilian Micro Sword) from South America can grow very compact, but a "lawn effect'' (4-7 cm tall) is only achieved at high light intensity. When planting in the aquarium small clumps (approx. 1/8 pot) should be placed a few centimetres apart to help the plants grow together more quickly. Place in an open position without shading from other plants to ensure good light. Lilaeopsis brasiliensis can be used in garden ponds, and also tolerates low salt concentrations in brackish aquariums.

Isabella ★★★★★

These little plants came in looking bright green and rooted nicely once I spread them out. They’re starting to carpet, but I can already tell the lawn effect needs strong light — my low-tech tank just won’t cut it.

Thomas ★★★★★

The little tufts arrived healthy and green, and once I gave them strong light they started carpeting exactly as described. I love that the lawn stays around 4-7 cm tall, so it doesn’t need constant trimming.

Victoria O. ★★★★★

Planted these in my high-light tank and they're already sending out runners after just a week, exactly what I needed for a dense carpet.
