Tropica Single Pot Bacopa Plant (Compact)

Overview

Live aquatic plant in pot, packed in a breathable blister packaging to go.

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 a large number of 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.
