About the species

Bacopa caroliniana comes 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 native 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.
