Category: Aquarium Plants

This culture form of the stem plant Bacopa Monnieri is more compact and, under good light conditions, almost a creeping plant. By pinching off all vertical growing shoots, the plant can maintain a low and close growth, since it willingly creates numerous side shoots.

Furthermore, the plant grows well in the shadow of other plants. Very suitable as a bit higher carpet – or bushy plant in the middle or front of the aquarium. The plant becomes more vertical growing and less compact without CO2 additive and decreased light conditions.

Customer Reviews (4.3 / 5 · 4 reviews)

Nicholas ★★★★★

These little stems are so compact they actually stay put in the foreground without floating up. I just snip off the taller shoots every week and they creep along the gravel exactly as described.

Daniel ★★★★★

Planted these in the front of my tank and the compact growth pattern is exactly what I needed to keep the scape tidy. Under medium light it stays low and dense without creeping everywhere.

Richard W. ★★★★☆

I was a little worried the compact growth would mean it gets lost in the tank, but pinching back the vertical shoots really works to keep it low and bushy. Once the light is strong enough, it does start to creep along the substrate just like the description says, though it needs patience to fill in.
