This type of micro sword is a thin leaf, easy to grow variant of Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis.  It tends to grow faster and with high light and CO2, can form into a thick grassy foreground.  

To maintain the lawn-like affect, trim the plants like you would with any foreground plant. 

Remove tissue culture gel before planting.  Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.
