✂️ Care

Plant the Lilaeopsis Novae-Zelandiae in the foreground in fine sand or gravel. The plant spreads naturally via runners and forms a compact carpet. Sufficient light is essential for low, compact growth — CO₂ promotes growth but is not required. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy development.

💡 Planter's tip

One of the easiest carpeting plants for beginners. Combines beautifully with Eleocharis or Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis for a varied foreground.
