This plant is unique to Mauritius and is similar to another aquarium plant called Lilaeopsis brasiliensis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the things to keep in mind when growing Lilaeopsis mauritiana is that it will grow slowly, but if you prune it regularly, it will become thicker and denser.
