Bacopa Monnieri — Bunch

$5.95 USD
by Nature Aquariums
Type: AQUARIUM PLANTS

Common Name: Water Hyssop, Moneywort

Moneywort is a popular back or mid-ground stem plant with pairs of light green leaves sprouting from base to tip. It's a hobby staple that also has a history as a medicinal herb in the Ayurvedic tradition of India. This plant is great for beginners — hardy and does not require CO2 injection — though it prefers a nutrient-rich environment, clean water, and moderate light on the lower parts of the stems. It can be grown submersed or emersed, and will bloom tiny pink and white flowers above water.

Care & Planting: Split the bunch apart and plant individual stems into the substrate. Propagates readily from cuttings.

A note on appearance: Many stem plants, including this one, are harvested in their above-water (emersed) form, and the photo may not reflect how it looks once fully adjusted to life underwater. Leaf shape and coloration commonly shift as the plant transitions to submersed growth — don't be surprised if new growth looks different from what arrived in your order. Give it a few weeks to acclimate before judging its final look.
