Available in different options:
- Bunch (4-6 collected stems, 4-8" tall)
- Potted (rooted and established)
A well-known aquatic stem plant that is both simple to grow and attractive in an aquascape is Bacopa Caroliniana (Lemon Bacopa). The plant is generally green with thick, succulent-like leaves and has a nice smell similar to lemons!
With the addition of iron and micronutrients, (and great light!) the tips of new growth can take on reddish undertones.
Because it is resilient and does not require CO2 injection, this plant can be excellent for beginners. It does prefer a nutrient-rich environment and clean water. Cuttings are used for propagation, and they quickly take root in the substrate. The stems can be cultivated either submerged or immersed.

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
