About This Plant
Lilaeopsis carolinensis is relatively new to the aquarium hobby. In emersed culture it is considerably taller than L. brasiliensis . In submersed culture it is still a taller under good growth conditions, but the difference may not be as obvious. It is a useful plant as a contrast behind very small foreground planting, or can also be used as an edging for garden ponds.
