Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis
Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis is a wonderful choice for aquarists looking for a low-maintenance carpeting aquarium plant for the foreground of a planted aquarium tank. Similar to Lilaeopsis Novaezelandiae, better known as Micro Sword, Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis is another species that offers very compact growth and a short height that creates the coveted "lawn effect". Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis offers a rich green hue and is quite forgiving of neglect. This aquarium plant does not require CO2 injection or extremely high lighting but will grow much quicker and more compact when provided with it. Its small size makes it the perfect choice for all planted aquarium tank sizes! To propagate, simply snip along the runners with quality aquascaping tools and replant into quality, nutrient-dense aquarium soil.
