Description
Add a timeless, low-maintenance backdrop to your aquarium with Bacopa caroliniana, a staple stem plant native to North America. Growing 20 to 30+ cm tall with thick, fleshy green leaves on sturdy upright stems, it brings structure and vibrant green contrast to the midground and background. Unlike many stem plants that require constant trimming, its relaxed, slow growth rate makes it one of the easiest and least demanding background plants to maintain.
Delivered in a Dennerle Plant-It! In-Vitro tissue culture cup, this plant is lab-cultivated under sterile conditions. It is guaranteed 100% free of snails, snail eggs, pest algae, pathogens, and pesticides—making it completely safe for sensitive dwarf shrimp and fish. Pre-adapted for submerged growth in nutrient media, it transitions seamlessly into your aquarium without undergoing a harsh conversion phase.
