Category: Aquarium Plants

Lilaeopsis brasiliensis 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.

Daniel R. ★★★★★

Planted these in small clumps about three weeks ago and they’re already spreading nicely across the substrate. The leaves stay low and dense under my strong light, giving the foreground that real carpet look I was hoping for. Just need patience with the initial planting.

Joseph U. ★★★★★

I’ve been trimming these clumps weekly and they’re finally filling in that bare patch I wanted—the lawn effect is exactly the 4-7 cm tall look I was after. Each small clump I planted rooted fast with my strong light.

Grace ★★★★★

I planted these in my high-light tank and within a few weeks they started forming the low, dense carpet I was hoping for. The clumps were small but rooted quickly, and the leaves are staying compact just as described.
