Bacopa Monnieri

Bacopa monnieri is a very common amphibious plant and occupies the banks of slow flowing rivers and lakes. The light green leaves are placed opposite on a hairy and weakly branched stem. If the shoot reaches the surface, it may set small white to pink flowers during summertime. A minimum of ten should be planted in a group to provide a satisfying ornament effect. This is a modest and very sturdy plant. It accepts soft to hard, even brackish, water and it prefers a fine-grained nutrient rich substrate.
