Micro sword narrow leaf potted

First time in the USA!

Lilaeopsis is a short grass like plant that grows into a thick grasy lawn. The more common specie grows very slowly and needs very bright light. This variety which has been popular in Europe for some time now, graws faster and does not require as much light. Under lower light it will grow taller, as opposed to bright light where it will grow quite short spread as a lawn carpet. It spreads by short underground runners.

This variety is known in Europe as Lilaeopsis mauritiana. "maurituis" is the name of the location where this plant was first discovered according to Tropica Plants of Denmark. This is the first time this plant has been cultivated commercially in the USA, and may be availabl for a llimited time only. The other characteristic of this plant is the leaf is much more narrow than its more common cousin.

Warning: this plant is grown hydroponically in pots and it appears to be much taller than what it will grow to be as it spreads in the aquarium. If you have tried normal Micro sword, Lilaeopsis before, you will find this specie much easier and quicker to grow.
