Lilaeopsis Novae-Zelandiae can grow very compact, but a “lawn effect” (4-7 cm tall) is only achieved at high light intensity. When planting in the aquarium, cover the stems entirely with a centimetre of bottom layer material to help the plants grow new roots. Place it away from the shading of other plants to ensure it gets good light.
Notes:
- If received in a pot, please remove all rock wool from the roots. Where possible we try and ship without pots or rockwool. Due to them being non-biodegradable we prefer to propagate in an environmentally conscious way.
- CO2 will generally yield better growth rates.
- Stable water conditions are a must, changes should occur over a period of time in order to reduce chances of melting etc.
