Lilaeopsis brasiliensis auf Matte

Lilaeopsis brasiliensis on mat is a decorative foreground plant commonly found in wild populations along riverbanks and swamps at elevations exceeding 1,000 meters. It features grass-like growth similar to that of Helanthium tenellum, which often leads to its confusion as 'false Tenellus'. This plant is easy to cultivate, preferring cooler water temperatures. The slow growth remains constant regardless of water hardness. A regular, radical pruning encourages a compact and dense growth, akin to a well-maintained lawn.
