Mint AKA Lemon Bacopa (Bacopa caroliniana) Tissue Culture
Mint Bacopa is one of the most popular, adaptable, and durable aquarium plant species, and we are glad to now offer it as a tissue culture!
Mint Bacopa (Bacopa caroliniana), also known as Lemon Bacopa or Blue Waterhyssop, is an extremely popular aquarium plant due to its bright green coloration, durability, and nearly unrivaled ease of care. It has very few requirements beyond reasonably clean, nutrient-rich water and preferably moderate lighting. It will thrive and grow very quickly even in low-tech setups. It will also grow very well (and even flower) when emersed, so it can also be an excellent paludarium plant.
Care for Mint Bacopa is very simple. It grows quickly when provided with nutrient rich soil and moderate to high light.

I’ve had Mint Bacopa for three months now and it’s grown rapidly in my 20-gallon tank. It doesn’t need much light and thrives in clean water. I love how it stays green and healthy even during low-light periods. It’s also been growing well in my paludarium, where it’s flowering occasionally. Very easy to maintain.

The tissue culture form arrived quickly and the plant is already showing strong growth. It’s more compact than I expected and adapts well to my aquarium setup. I didn’t have to add extra nutrients, and it’s been thriving under moderate lighting.

Grew well in my low-tech tank with minimal effort. The plant stays vibrant and spreads nicely. I noticed it blooming in the emersed section of my terrarium. A bit more light would help it grow faster, but overall very satisfying.
