Hardy, quick-growing texture, perfect as a background plant for a lower-light aquarium, and oh-so- popular!
Requires average light and water parameters, keeping towards the mid-range.
Bacopa Monnieri is actually a marginal plant, meaning that it can transition between completely submerged to immersed like a dream! Try it by allowing your Moneywort to grow right out of your tank and drape over the side. If it gets enough light and nutrients, it'll even produce little white flowers for you.
I personally grow these both ways, so your bunches may have harvested stems that have both emergent and submerged leaves, plus usually some roots too!
A bunch is 4-6 collected stems, and may be branched or rooted. (4-8" tall)

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
