Mondo Grass (Ophiogon Japonica) LIVE AQUARIUM PLANT

Mondo Grass beautiful green blades that resemble a lush lawn of grass, Ophiopogon Japonicus is a great bog plant originating from Asia. This plant species is not a true aquatic plant and should be kept in terrariums, paludariums or any other high-humidity setup. Mondo Grass does not require too much lighting and is partial to shaded areas as well. We would recommend using it as a background plant choice in a pond/bog style planted aquarium. When provided with good care, Ophiopogon Japonicus will reward you with dense tufts of beautiful growth.

Ophiopogon japonicus is frequently offered as aquarium plant however, it is not suitable for submersed cultivation. When planted into a tank, it may survive for months due to its exceptional robustness, however, sooner or later it will die off and rot away.

Mondo grass, however, is highly suitable as slow-growing, robust terrarium plant in normally moist (not wet) soil. In protected outdoor areas or in regions with mild winters it is sufficiently hardy in Central Europe, and its high shade tolerance makes it a great plant e.g., for city house patios. Fresh soils rich in humus are recommendable, but short dry periods are tolerated by this deep-rooting plant. During the warm season, mondo grass grows short flower stalks with small whiteish or blueish flowers, from which dark blue berries develop. Ophiopogon japonicus, commonly called mondo grass, is an evergreen, tuberous-rooted, rhizomatous, perennial of the lily family.
