Description

The Bacopa monnieri ‘Compact White’ is a compact, vibrant green aquatic plant with beautiful, small white flowers. Its dense, bushy growth makes it an ideal addition to the midground or background of planted aquariums. The in-vitro version of this plant ensures a pest-free, healthy start for your aquascape, free from contaminants.

Key Features:

  • Compact Growth: This ‘Compact White’ variant offers a denser, smaller growth pattern than the standard Bacopa monnieri, making it perfect for small aquariums or as a midground plant in larger tanks.
  • White Flowers: Bacopa monnieri is known for its delicate white flowers that can add a soft, natural beauty to your aquarium when grown under the right conditions.
  • In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, the plant is free from pests, algae, and pathogens, ensuring it can be safely introduced into your aquarium without risk.
  • Great for Aquascaping: Its bright green leaves and compact growth make it a versatile plant for creating contrast with other aquatic plants.

Care Requirements:

  • Lighting: Requires medium to high lighting to maintain compact growth and encourage the development of white flowers.
  • CO2: While not strictly necessary, the addition of CO2 will boost growth and enhance the overall health and color of the plant.
  • Water Parameters: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.5-7.5 and temperatures between 22-28°C.
  • Trimming: Regular trimming helps maintain its compact growth and bushy appearance. Stem cuttings can be replanted to propagate the plant.

Planting Tips:

  • Rinse the plant thoroughly to remove the nutrient gel before planting.
  • Divide the plant into small portions and plant them in nutrient-rich substrate to promote healthy root development.
  • Ideal for midground or background placement, but can also be used in small aquariums due to its compact growth habit.
