Bacopa Monnieri Platinum is a unique version of the popular Bacopa Monnieri plant used in aquariums. At Aquarium Plants Factory, we’re among the first to offer this special type of plant. The original Bacopa Monnieri, also called Moneywort or Water Hyssop, is easy to look after and grows fast in many settings. But this new version, the Platinum, is not common. It’s harder to take care of because it doesn’t have the usual green color that helps it photosensitive from sunlight.
You can put Bacopa Monnieri Platinum in the front part of your aquarium, but you need to look after it by trimming and taking care of it. When there’s not a lot of light, it might get long and thin as it reaches for the light. But if you give it strong light and good nutrients, it will stay short and the stems will spread out really close to the bottom of the tank, like a creeping plant. Just remember, this special plant needs a bit more attention than the regular green one.
