Overview: Bacopa is relatively a new plant that has come into the aquarium hobby. It is a stem plant that originates from the southern part of South America. It belongs to the Plantaginaceae family. Today, it has become one of the widest choices of the aquarists due to its simplicity, undemanding, easy to grow and maintain features. There are other variants of Bacopa, too, like Bacopa Monnieri and Bacopa Caroliniana, that are grown in aquariums; Bacopa australis is rare and unique. Being undemanding and hardy in nature, Bacopa is considered perfect for beginners. You can grow Bacopa in submersed or emersed conditions where it will bloom tiny pink and white flowers above water and make the entire setup look mesmerizing.
