Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup.
Bacopa caroliniana originates from US and has been used as an aquarium plant for many years.
Stems become 10-30 cm long and 3-4 cm wide. Apart from relatively good light it makes few demands. Its slow growth rate makes it one of the few stem plants that do not need much attention.
