Bacopa Monnieri Platinum is a unique and rare hybrid of the popular Bacopa Monnieri plant, also known as White Moneywort or White Water Hyssop. At Aquarium Plants Factory, we're proud to be among the first to offer this special type of plant. Unlike the traditional green Bacopa Monnieri, the Platinum variant requires more care due to its distinctive lack of the typical green coloration, which affects its ability to photosynthesize efficiently.

Bacopa Monnieri Platinum is a unique and rare hybrid of the popular Bacopa Monnieri plant, also known as White Moneywort or White Water Hyssop. At Aquarium Plants Factory, we're proud to be among the first to offer this special type of plant. Unlike the traditional green Bacopa Monnieri, the Platinum variant is albino white in color, making it exceptionally eye-catching but also more challenging to grow due to its lack of chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Due to its hybrid nature, it requires extra care to maintain its unique coloration and prevent it from reverting to green.

Key Features:

  • Albino White Coloration: A rare and visually striking variant with a distinctive albino white color.
  • Exclusive Hybrid: A unique hybrid that is not commonly found in the market, adding a rare aesthetic to your aquarium.
  • Versatile Placement: Ideal for foreground placement, creating a striking visual effect in your aquascape.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Lighting: Requires strong lighting to support its growth. In low light, it may become long and thin as it reaches for light.
  • Nutrients: Needs a nutrient-rich environment and regular fertilization to thrive.
  • Trimming: Regular trimming and maintenance are essential to keep it healthy and promote dense growth.
  • Hybrid Challenges: Due to its hybrid nature, Bacopa Monnieri Platinum may revert to the original green color over time.

Optimal Conditions:

  • Lighting: Prefers high light conditions to maintain its compact, creeping growth habit.
  • Substrate: Thrives in nutrient-rich substrate; regular fertilization is crucial.
  • Water Parameters: Benefits from stable, nutrient-rich environments to support its unique needs.

Aquascaping Tips:

  • Placement: Best placed in the foreground of your aquarium. Under strong light, it will spread close to the substrate, creating a lush carpet effect.
  • Maintenance: Requires more attention than the regular green Bacopa Monnieri due to its albino coloration and photosynthesis challenges.

Enhance your aquarium with our versatile selection of high-quality aquatic plants, available in three convenient formats:

  • Fresh-Cut Plants: Includes approximately 6+ loose, fresh-cut stems without roots. Perfect for flexible planting arrangements.
  • Fresh-Cut Bunched: Approximately 6+ fresh-cut stems without roots, bundled with foam and a plant weight for easy placement.
  • Fresh-Cut Potted: About 6+ fresh-cut stems without roots, securely potted in a net pot with rockwool, ensuring stability and healthy growth.

Choose the format that best suits your aquascaping needs and create a vibrant, lush underwater environment with our premium aquatic plants.

      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

      Still white!

      I ordered these expecting them to melt after a bit, I have it in 3 different tanks. They all have high light and rich substrate but no co2. They are still amazingly bright white 2 weeks later! They aren't growing very fast,
      But that's to be expected. but not melting.
