Bacopa Myriophylloides
A
They came in with a lot more brown sections than all the other bundles I bought. They looked really cute, but they quickly melted after a couple days while all my other plants survived.
S
Unfortunately, the plant arrived with some melt but has completely melted from the bottom up since planting last week. Only a 4 sprigs remain. The other stem plants in my order have also melted. However, the Anubis is doing well!
