Description
Description
Bacopa Caroliniana is a classic, hardy stem plant loved by aquascapers for its ease of care and vibrant green leaves that can develop light pink to reddish tones under high light conditions. With its upright growth habit and thick, rounded leaves, this plant is perfect for mid-ground to background placement, adding height, texture, and a lush green presence to freshwater aquariums.
Compared to Bacopa Colorata, Bacopa Caroliniana requires higher lighting and CO2 supplementation to develop its signature pink hues. However, even under low-tech conditions, this plant remains robust and visually appealing with its bright green foliage. Its slow to moderate growth rate and resilience make it a great option for beginners and aquarists looking for low-maintenance plants that deliver lasting beauty.
At Aquascaping Essentials, our tissue culture plants are densely packed and sealed for freshness, ensuring you receive an abundance of healthy plants that are completely pest, algae, snail, and disease-free. This guarantees exceptional value for money while providing a clean, thriving start for your aquascape.
Bacopa Caroliniana grows vertically, so regular trimming is recommended to encourage bushier growth and prevent it from shading other plants. Its ability to absorb excess nutrients makes it a valuable addition to any tank, contributing to improved water quality and reduced algae growth.
Whether you're setting up a minimalist aquascape, a jungle-style layout, or a planted community tank, Bacopa Caroliniana is a reliable and versatile choice that adds both height and color to your aquarium.
