LILAEOPSIS BRASILIENSIS – Compact South American Carpet Plant for Aquascaping and Freshwater Aquariums
Lilaeopsis brasiliensis is a carpeting aquatic plant native to South America, widely used for creating a dense, vibrant grass-like foreground in freshwater aquariums. With narrow, linear bright green leaves, it grows to 4–7 cm in height and thrives under high light conditions, forming a thick lawn effect across the substrate. To ensure optimal growth, it should be planted in small portions (about 1/8 of the pot) a few centimeters apart, and placed in open, unshaded areas.
Delivered in a breathable blister-packed pot, this live plant is easy to handle and ideal for aquascapers aiming to achieve a neat, natural layout. Remarkably adaptable, Lilaeopsis brasiliensis can also be grown in garden ponds and brackish water aquariums, tolerating low levels of salinity.
