Mowing Microswords Like a Lawn

[urville]

lilaeopsis novae-zelandae to be specific.
Can it be mowed like a lawn. and how does this affect the plant, does it react like a terrestrial lawn? i love it but it's too tall, even at at about 2.5 watts per gal.

 

[malkore]

don't mow it like a lawn...it's not like a terrestrial lawn at all. comparing apples and oranges here.

If you do mow it down, the tips of the cut blades will get yellow/brown and the plants will look like crap.
how tall is yours? I have Echinodorus tenellus and it stays under 5" tall. Your should be even shorter if you were sold the correct species you named.

 

[urville]

two inches
which is extremely too tall. i'll just have to auction it off or try to trade for pellia... oh well
i had heard different so i had to check

 

[malkore]

dwarf hairgrass, glosso, or riccia are the only plants that will be shorter than 2".

 

[urville]

oh pellia too. its just not to popular or easyt o find over here in the states yet
