Native to New Zealand and Australia, it's a great alternative to other carpeting plants and works beautifully in both Nature Aquarium and natural-style aquascapes. Its fine, grass-like texture creates a lush, meadow-like effect that complements rocks, driftwood, and hardscape beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foreground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow to Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended for best carpeting results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18–26°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Tissue Culture?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eOur tissue culture plants are grown in sterile laboratory conditions, meaning they arrive:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eFree from pesticides and harmful chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eFree from snails, planarians, and pest algae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eFree from pathogens and parasites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eNo rock wool to remove — just rinse and plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips for Success\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003ePlant in small clumps spaced 1–2 cm apart directly into a nutrient-rich substrate. Medium to high lighting and CO₂ injection will significantly speed up spreading and help achieve a dense carpet. Lilaeopsis spreads via runners and is slower to establish than some other carpeting plants, so patience is key. Regular trimming keeps the carpet neat and encourages lateral growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AquaPlant Culture","offers":[{"title":"TC Lilaeopsis novaezelandiae","offer_id":44030144020545,"sku":"TC024","price":7.37,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/5957\/2545\/files\/lilaeopsis_5cb1185b-3abb-4b48-a554-2f50a0b52bd8.jpg?v=1786810493","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaplantculture.com.au\/products\/tissue-culture-lilaeopsis-novaezelandiae","provider":"AquaPlant Culture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
