Hi,
I got a pot of lilaeopsis brasiliensis at ADC in London about two months ago. As their local "plant expert" couldn't get it to grow, it was melting on his tank, I decided to have a go.
Now, the plant has taken over my 70cm by 20cm substrate, it over run the Staurogyne, hairgrass and Marsilea H.
I have been cutting it short, so it is under 2cm tall. The issue is that now there isn't more space for it to grow, so it is going under the rocks and where it is not supposed to, into mosses and over pieces of wood.
Do you have experience with this plant?
My question is if I take large clumps out, should it recover? Is there any special way to trim it?
It is a lovely looking plant, but it grows all over the place.
