Tropica 1-2 Grow Bacopa caroliniana

Bacopa caroliniana originates from US and has been used as an aquarium plant for many years.

Stems become 10-30 cm long and 3-4 cm wide. Apart from relatively good light it makes few demands. Its slow growth rate makes it one of the few stem plants that do not need much 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 in the bottom.

The classic Bacopa caroliniana has been in the planted aquarium hobby for over 40 years. It is found in the wild in Southern and Eastern USA and Mexico growing in marshes both submersed under water and emersed out of water. Several forms of this species are currently in cultivation and available in the hobby, including smaller-leaved and variegated forms. When the stems are crushed there is a distinctive lemon scent.
