Potted Micro Sword

Microsword is the creeping, carpeting plant you have been looking for!

It spreads, looks, and trims just like grass, but is similarly needy of light and co2. 

Best for high- tech setups, but can survive in a lower tech aquascape. Be sure to give it as much light as you can.

This species (lilaeopsis novaezelandiae) grows about 1-3" tall underwater, and spreads laterally, through root nodes. Just snip and replant for propogation.

Excellent for sheltering baby shrimp or fry, and for growing excellent bio-films to improve the health of your whole tank.

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!

Rooted pots are between 3-6" tall.
