Description
About Bacopa Monnieri
Planted about 6 inches apart under well-lit conditions, bacopa monnieri aquarium plant seeds and bulbs create a dense, luѕh, creeping cover on the aquarium floor. The bacopa monnieri plant can also be grown in a soil garden, but using an aquarium or a marshy terrarium is ideal for the growth of this water-loving plant.
Propagation
Bacopa Monnieri can be propagated by cutting a side shoot or a terminal bud in two. The cutting floats while roots begin to grow. After they mature, roots are placed in soil, and the plant starts to creep across the aquarium floor. Alternatively, a seed can be taken from the mature seed capsule and planted for propagation.
