Tropica Single Pot Lilaeopsis brasiliensis Plant

Overview

Live aquatic plant in pot, packed in a breathable blister packaging to go.

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 centimeters 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.
