Bacopa Platinum (White Moneywort) Aquarium Plants Factory

Bacopa Monnieri Platinum is a unique and rare hybrid of the popular Bacopa Monnieri plant, also known as White Moneywort or White Water Hyssop. At Aquarium Plants Factory, we’re proud to be among the first to offer this special type of plant. Unlike the traditional green Bacopa Monnieri, the Platinum variant is albino white in color, making it exceptionally eye-catching but also more challenging to grow due to its lack of chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Due to its hybrid nature, it requires extra care to maintain its unique coloration and prevent it from reverting to green.

Key Features:

• Albino White Coloration: A rare and visually striking variant with a distinctive albino white color.
• Exclusive Hybrid: A unique hybrid that is not commonly found in the market, adding a rare aesthetic to your aquarium.
• Versatile Placement: Ideal for foreground placement, creating a striking visual effect in your aquascape.

Care and Maintenance:

• Lighting: Requires strong lighting to support its growth. In low light, it may become long and thin as it reaches for light.
• Nutrients: Needs a nutrient-rich environment and regular fertilization to thrive.
• Trimming: Regular trimming and maintenance are essential to keep it healthy and promote dense growth.
• Hybrid Challenges: Due to its hybrid nature, Bacopa Monnieri Platinum may revert to the original green color over time.

Optimal Conditions:

• Lighting: Prefers high light conditions to maintain its compact, creeping growth habit.
• Substrate: Thrives in nutrient-rich substrate; regular fertilization is crucial.
• Water Parameters: Benefits from stable, nutrient-rich environments to support its unique needs.

Aquascaping Tips:

• Placement: Best placed in the foreground of your aquarium. Under strong light, it will spread close to the substrate, creating a lush carpet effect.
• Maintenance: Requires more attention than the regular green Bacopa Monnieri due to its albino coloration and photosynthesis challenges.
