Description: Create a lush, vibrant underwater lawn with Micro Sword – Narrowleaf (Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae), one of the most popular carpeting plants for freshwater aquascapes.

• Quarantine: Live plants need to be quarantined before introducing to a closed system such as an aquarium or water feature. Unwanted pests and hitchhikers such as snails, larvae, eggs, are common and to be expected, unless the plant is grown in-vitro aka tissue culture/lab grown. A 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip is generally recommended for most plants; so if you want to be sure your plant is 100% sterilized against unwanted pests or algae, please perform a bleach dip, and definitely always wash and rinse plants before introducing them to any new environment. Direct Message us if you need help doing this.
