Lilaeopsis brasiliensis, commonly known as Micro Sword, is a versatile and easy-to-care-for carpeting plant. It can form a compact, lush "lawn effect" in aquariums, especially under high light conditions. To promote faster growth, plant small clumps about an inch apart in an open area, ensuring they receive ample light without shading from other plants. This will help the plants spread and create a dense carpet.

Micro Sword is highly adaptable, tolerating a wide range of temperatures and even low levels of salt in aquariums. Its hardiness and ability to thrive in various environments make it one of the best choices for aquascapers looking for a low-maintenance, attractive ground cover.
