Description
Lilaeopsis macloviana is a true grassy carpeting plant with short, upright blades that form a neat, lawn-like mat across the foreground. Compact and fresh green, Lilaeopsis macloviana gives a planted aquarium that coveted manicured-meadow look without growing tall or untidy.
To carpet well, give Lilaeopsis macloviana moderate to high light and, ideally, CO₂, planted in small portions a few centimetres apart in nutrient-rich substrate. It spreads by runners at a slow-to-moderate pace; be patient and let the runners of Lilaeopsis macloviana knit together, then divide clumps to speed up coverage.
Rewarding for aquascapers willing to give it light and time, Lilaeopsis macloviana suits nature and iwagumi layouts and pairs beautifully with stones and wood. It is safe for shrimp, betta and community tanks, and the dense turf of Lilaeopsis macloviana shelters shrimplets and tiny fish superbly.
