Extraplant Aquarium Plants: Bacopa caroliniana

Bacopa caroliniana

Water Hyssop

Very robust and suitable aquarium plant which will almost always grow to satisfaction if kept under at least moderate (better high) lighting. Almost a must in a Dutch Style Aquarium, this plant is gorgeous as a mid-or background solitary group. Some pruning is required when the lower portions of the stems lose their leaves. Then, take out the whole plant, trim away the leafless lower parts and replant as a stepped group. Like this, the re-planted group will keep the picture for at least 6 weeks until pruning is again required.
