Fresh-cut Plants

Bacopa Monnieri, commonly known as Moneywort, is a popular and easy-to-grow stem plant that brings both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits to your aquarium. This vibrant green plant is renowned for its resilience and adaptability, making it a favorite among both beginner and experienced aquarists.

Key Features:

  • Appearance: Bacopa Monnieri features bright green, rounded leaves that grow in pairs along its stems. The plant can reach up to 12 inches in height, making it an excellent choice for background planting in medium to large tanks.
  • Growth: This plant thrives under a variety of conditions and can grow both emersed and submerged. It is capable of producing small, white flowers under optimal conditions, adding an extra layer of beauty to your tank.

Optimal Growing Conditions:

  • Lighting: Bacopa Monnieri prefers low to medium lighting conditions. It can tolerate higher light levels, which can promote more robust growth.
  • Temperature: This plant thrives in water temperatures ranging from 68°F to 80°F (20°C to 27°C).
  • pH Level: It prefers a pH range of 6.0 to 8.0, making it versatile for different water environments.
  • Substrate: While it can be planted in any type of substrate, Bacopa Monnieri mainly absorbs nutrients from the water column. Light fertilization can enhance its growth.

Benefits for Your Aquarium:

  • Water Quality: Bacopa Monnieri helps to oxygenate the water and absorbs excess nutrients, aiding in the control of algae growth and maintaining overall water quality.
  • Habitat Enhancement: It provides excellent cover and hiding spots for small fish and shrimp, creating a more natural and secure environment for your aquatic inhabitants.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Trimming: Regular trimming is recommended to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. The cuttings can be replanted to propagate new plants.
  • Placement: Ideal for the background of your aquarium due to its height and vertical growth pattern. It can also be used in the midground for larger tanks.

Propagation:

  • Cuttings: Propagate Bacopa Monnieri by cutting a healthy stem just below a leaf node and planting it in the substrate. The plant will quickly develop roots and continue to grow.

Conclusion:

Bacopa Monnieri is a versatile and resilient plant that can adapt to a wide range of aquarium setups. Its bright green foliage and ease of care make it an excellent addition to any aquatic landscape, enhancing both the beauty and health of your aquarium.

        WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

        Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

        However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

        1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
        2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
        3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!

        WOW

        They really sent a very nice portion of this plant. Almost ordered too much. I was unable to plant it all in the layout I was using. It is very healthy and looks nice in the tank. I have it planted a little over 2 weeks and very happy.

        Nice and healthy!

        As always APF is great to work with. Processing times were quick and the plants all arrived well-packaged and healthy. The Bacopa Monnieri was a nice sized bunch, very healthy! Hopefully it'll do well in my tank. :)
