Whether you are starting in the aquascaping scene or whether you are an old hat, getting and growing healthy plants is always the challenge. 

Bacopa Carolinana also known as Water Hyssop or Moneywort and is a popular back or mid-ground stem plant with pairs of light green leaves sprouting from the base to the tip of the stalk. This popular aquarium hobby plant adds a cheerful accent to the planted tank.

This plant can be great for beginners because it is hardy and does not require CO2 injection. It does prefer a nutrient-rich environment and clean water. It requires moderate light or the lower parts of the stems. Bacopa Monnieri is propagated through cuttings that easily take root in the substrate. It can be grown submersed or emersed and will bloom tiny pink and white flowers above water.
