Bacopa Monnieri
Bacopa Monnieri, commonly known as Baby Tears (not to be confused with Hemianthus Callitrichoides), is a hardy, beginner-friendly stem plant with soft, rounded leaves. It adds a fresh, lush look to midground and background sections of aquascapes and is just as happy in a terrarium or paludarium as it is fully submerged.
Its upright, vertical growth and minimal care requirements make it a favourite for both new hobbyists and experienced aquascapers.
Key Features:
- Soft, rounded green leaves on vertical stems
- Perfect for midground and background use
- Very forgiving and adaptable – ideal for low-tech setups
- Suitable for both aquariums and paludariums
- Can be grown submerged or emersed
Care Instructions:
- Lighting: Moderate to high light for compact growth. Low light leads to more stretched internodes.
- CO₂: Optional – enhances colour and growth speed but not required.
- Trimming: Cut stems from the top and replant to form denser clusters.
- Water Parameters: Grows in a wide range; thrives best at 20–28°C, pH 6.5–7.5.
- Nutrients: Will appreciate fertilisers in both the substrate and water column.
Available in both Emersed and Submerged forms:
- Emersed form is ideal for new setups or hybrid tanks and adapts easily once submerged.
- Submerged form is ready for direct placement into an aquarium environment.
