Bacopa monnieri 'Compact'

Product description

About the species

This culture form of the stem plant Bacopa Monnieri is more compact and, in good light conditions, almost a creeping plant. By pinching off all vertical shoots, the plant can maintain a low and dense growth, as it likes to create many lateral shoots. In addition, the plant grows well in the shade of other plants.

Very suitable as a slightly taller mat - or bushy plant in the middle or in front of the aquarium. The plant becomes more vertical and less compact without CO2 addition and reduced light conditions.
