Lilaeopsis Mauritius, AKA Micro Sword Narrow Leaf, is a rare plant in the hobby, less common and often hard to find. Works best as a carpet plant and has a wonderful grass like nature, when under optimum conditions it cancreate stunning aquascapes.Plant height and density demand on light, more light results in a lower & more dense carpet. Under high light you will also need to inject lots of CO2 for it to do well. Leaves grow to a height of 2-4cm under good light.
When planting, plant in clumps 2-3cm apart and over time it will form a carpet. Alternatively you could plant clumps inbetween rocks. Regular pruning encourages growth and a more healthy carpet.

Great condition and plenty of it. Had to wait a week for stock, but was sent and arrived a day later. Great service, thank you.
