Bacopa
monnieri, also known as 'moneywort' among aquarists and 'brahmi' among
herbalists, is quite widespread throughout the tropics where it can be
found growing along the banks of lakes, rivers, and pools. The plants
usually grow as emersed, creeping stems during the dry season during
which they tend to produce pinkish flowers at the leaf nodes. makemyhobby.com During the
wet season, the rising water level usually submerges the plants for
several months during which they grow in their more familiar, aquatic
form. Bacopa monnieri is one of the most common stem plants in the
hobby, with its popularity stemming from its ease of growth and unique
foliage.
Bacopa monnieri is one of the easiest stem plants to
grow, as it makes very few demands on the hobbyist other than bright
lighting (2 watts per gallon or more). If lighting is not intense
enough, the lower portions of this plant tend to rot. CO2 is beneficial,
but not necessary it is an excellent candidate for Diana Walstad style
non-CO2 aquaria. Although nutrient deficiencies are not readily visible,
growth does slow if not enough nutrients are available. makemyhobby.com In CO2-driven,
high-light aquaria, maintaining proper nitrate (5 ppm or more) and
phosphate (0.5 ppm or more) will promote faster, more robust growth, as
will regularly dosing an iron/micronutrient mix.
This undemanding
stem plant grows vertically even under very high light conditions. If
allowed to grow to the water's surface, it will continue to grow
vertically in its emersed form. Bacopa monnieri tends to produce
pseudo-runners at the base of the plant, which can either be left in
place or clipped off and replanted in the substrate. It also tends to
produce side shoots which can be treated like the aforementioned
runners.makemyhobby.com
Bacopa monnieri can be used as a background or
middle-ground plant, where its leaf shape and light green foliage make
it a good, contrasting accent plant.
