Lilaeopsis brasiliensis – Tropica Pot

Lilaeopsis brasiliensis, also known as Brazilian Micro Sword, is a popular aquarium plant admired for its dense, grass-like appearance and low-growing habit. Originating from South America, it forms a lush carpet when planted in the foreground of aquariums. Its slender, bright green leaves create a vibrant and natural look in the aquascape. Brazilian Micro Sword typically grows to a height of 3-7 cm, making it suitable for foreground planting. It thrives in soft to moderately hard water and prefers bright, direct lighting to promote healthy growth. Regular trimming helps maintain its carpet-like appearance, and it can be propagated by runners or division. With proper care, Lilaeopsis brasiliensis adds texture and depth to the aquarium while providing a natural habitat for small fish and shrimp.
