Bacopa salzmannii, also known as Purple Bacopa, is a stunning stem plant with vibrant purple colouration that remains even in less than optimal growth conditions. With its small leaves and succulent stems, this plant adds a unique look to any aquarium. Under low light conditions, the leaves appear greener with a visible red vein at the center. However, with additional CO2 and high lighting, the plant's growth will accelerate, and its colouration will become even more vibrant.

When planted in groups, Bacopa salzmannii creates a lush, bushy effect that works well in the foreground or midground of the aquarium. The plant can be propagated by taking stem cuttings and replanting them in the substrate. With proper care and maintenance, this fast-growing plant can quickly fill in a space and provide a striking visual impact.
