Care Tips: Lilaeopsis novaezelandiae, also known as New Zealand Glasswort, is a compact, grass-like plant that is perfect for creating a dense, lush carpet in aquariums. When purchased in tissue culture form, it is free of pests and algae, ensuring a clean and healthy addition to your aquascape. This plant thrives in medium to high lighting and benefits from CO₂ supplementation, which enhances its growth rate and overall health. It is best planted in a nutrient-rich substrate to support its root system and encourage robust growth. Lilaeopsis novaezelandiae can grow in a variety of water conditions, but it prefers slightly acidic to neutral water with a stable temperature. Regular trimming helps maintain its dense carpet and prevents it from becoming too tall or leggy. It's an excellent choice for foreground planting, where it creates a grassy effect and works well with shrimp and small fish that enjoy the cover it provides.
