Tropica Lilaeopsis mauritiana

'Lilaeopsis mauritiana' or Mauritius Grass Plant is a ground cover that immediately makes the hearts of die-hard aquascaping fans beat faster: The grass-like stem plant can be used to create natural-looking lawns across all layout levels, and of course, the foreground and middle ground or the greening of nano tanks are "its thing". Thanks to its rounded tips and graceful stems, it has a fine-stemmed appearance, which creates a harmonious overall appearance. In addition, it is not too demanding and easy to care for; radical pruning from time to time allows the entire stand to thrive more densely.

Our expert Oliver Knott recommends:
There are many grass-like ground covers. With the Mauritius grass, you have to be patient - it grows a little slower. The result in good conditions, however, rewards the wait with dense, rich green carpets that also create aesthetic tension when planted over a large area.
