The ground-covering Lilaeopsis brasiliensis from South America can thrive at fairly low light intensity and form a nice ground cover. However, an actual ''lawn effect'' is only achieved at high light intensities. The height varies between 4 and 7 cm. When planting in the aquarium, small clumps should be placed a few centimeters apart, as the plants will grow together faster. However, it should be planted in an open place without shade from other plants, so that the light can reach the plant. Lilaeopsis brasiliensis can be used in the garden pond and can also tolerate the low salt concentrations in a brackish water aquarium.
