Bacopa Monnieri - 10 Stems

Bacopa monnieri

Bacopa monnieri, commonly known as Water Hyssop, is a hardy and versatile aquatic stem plant known for its thick, rounded leaves and bright green coloration. It is widely appreciated in aquariums for its durability and ability to adapt to a wide range of water conditions, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced aquascapers.

This plant grows upright and can be used in the midground or background of planted tanks. With proper lighting and nutrients, Bacopa monnieri develops dense stems and lush foliage that adds a clean, natural look to aquascapes. It can also grow emersed, making it suitable for paludariums and riparium-style setups.

Care Tips

• Lighting: Low to Medium

• CO₂: Not required but can promote faster growth

• Placement: Midground to Background

• Growth Rate: Moderate

• Propagation: Easily propagated by trimming stems and replanting the cuttings

Aquascaping Notes

Bacopa monnieri works well in nature-style, jungle-style, and low-tech planted aquariums. With regular trimming, it forms compact bushes that create structure and greenery in planted layouts.

Please note that plant size, number of stems, and coloration may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
