Lilaeopsis novaezelandiae

[crickit99]

I purchased some of this to try it out.

It was put in a new tank I set up, and the leaves are all turning light green.

Anyone have experience with this plant? I'm clueless on it's reqirements, and I'm not finding much detailed information..

I just removed this plant from my 10gal after it seemed to fail. Tropica lists it as a very difficult plant to keep, and from my experience, there is very good reason for it. Even with lots of light and dosing nutrients individually, the lilaeopsis just got worse and worse... Maybe I jumped the gun on removing it, but I wanted hairgrass anyways. It seems like a fairly slow grower, so try keeping it for at least two or three months.

Good luck!
