Bacopa caroliniana

Product description

About the species

Bacopa caroliniana originates from the USA and has been used as an aquarium plant for many years. The trunks become 10-30 cm long and 3-4 cm wide, and branch willingly from the base. It has few requirements and is therefore very convenient for beginners.

Its slow growth rate makes it one of the few stem plants that doesn't need a lot of attention. Like most stem plants, it is most decorative when planted in small groups. Easy to propagate by cuttings; take a side shoot and plant it at the bottom.

Requirements vary by species. Added CO₂ and balanced plant nutrition often improve growth and colour, but match light, nutrition and CO₂ to the requirements in the product description.

Where in the aquarium should I place Bacopa caroliniana?
