Lemon Bacopa Caroliniana

Available in different options:

• Bunch (4-6 collected stems, 4-8" tall)
• Potted (rooted and established)

A well-known aquatic stem plant that is both simple to grow and attractive in an aquascape is Bacopa Caroliniana (Lemon Bacopa). The plant is generally green with thick, succulent-like leaves and has a nice smell similar to lemons!

With the addition of iron and micronutrients, (and great light!) the tips of new growth can take on reddish undertones.

Because it is resilient and does not require CO2 injection, this plant can be excellent for beginners. It does prefer a nutrient-rich environment and clean water. Cuttings are used for propagation, and they quickly take root in the substrate. The stems can be cultivated either submerged or immersed.

Our latest blog post explores this aquatic stem plant. Check it out here! 

Bunch format: 4-6 collected stems, may be branched or rooted (4-8" tall)

Potted format: Rooted and established

EMERGENT-GROWN

Growing requirements:

• 65-80 Degrees Fahrenheit

• Grows quickly

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
