A perfect plant for a plant carpet in an aquarium

Lilaeopsis brasiliensis

Lilaeopsis brasiliensis is often used in aquascaping to create an underwater lawn effect. It develops long, thin leaves, forming a compact carpet that creates a natural and harmonious appearance. For successful installation, it is recommended to plant small clumps spaced a few centimeters apart to encourage its spread.

It grows best in a nutrient- rich substrate, with good lighting and CO2 injection. Its development is slow, so it requires a little patience, but once established, it provides a splendid and long-lasting plant cover.

An ideal choice for a well-balanced aquarium

This plant provides much more than just aesthetic benefits: it also contributes to water quality. By absorbing excess nutrients , it limits algae growth and improves aquarium balance. It is particularly appreciated by burrowing fish and shrimp, who find refuge in its thin stems.

It can be combined with decorative elements such as aquarium roots or rocks for an even more natural look.

How to properly use Lilaeopsis brasiliensis in vitro?

This plant is grown in vitro in the laboratory, ensuring superior quality without unwanted pests or algae. To install it correctly:

Carefully remove the plant from its cup.
Rinse thoroughly under water to remove the nourishing gel.
Divide into several small portions and plant, leaving a few centimeters of space.

For optimal growth, it is advisable to use a quality filter and to perform regular filter cleaning to maintain clean and well-oxygenated water.
