Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis is commonly called Brazillian Grass. This Brazilian micro sword (Lilaeopsis brasiliensis) is a short-stemmed aquarium plant that can be cultivated as a carpet. It grows both fully submerged and partially submerged on the banks of rivers and streams throughout much of Brazil.
In a home aquarium, it can reach a maximum size of 3 inches (7.5 cm) and build a dense and attractive carpet if given the appropriate mix of CO₂, nutrition, and illumination. This is a challenging plant to grow and should only be attempted by aquarists with prior experience with aquatic plants.
Care Tips
- Should only be cultivated in a nutrient-rich substrate when planted.
- T5 or T8 fluorescent lights should be provided, while some people have claimed success with modern LED lights.
Tissue culture plants are young aquatic plants that are developed in-vitro in aquatic plant propagation laboratories. This unique cultivation ensures these plants are devoid of undesired snails, algae, and pesticides, making them completely safe for even the most delicate fish and shrimp species. We offer a diverse range of tissue cultured aquarium plant varieties. Our cultures provide substantial planting portions, and when combined with high-quality fertilizers and CO₂ injection will grow into healthy aquatic plants. Just lower the root portion of the tissue culture's clump that needs to be planted directly into the soil until it is buried halfway into the aquatic soil.Plant Format
