This Lilaeopsis species demands less light than Lilaeopsis
brasiliensis. TropicaÆs owner, Holger Windeløv, found it on Mauritius in
1992. The plantÆs height and distance between its leaves depend on the light
intensity. The more light it gets, the lower the plant and the denser the leaves.
The runners spread round the aquarium, and growth is more compact when planted
in a pot or between stones or other objects. Should be planted like
Lilaeopsis brasiliensis.
