Received the Bacopa monnieri plants and they’ve been thriving in my tank. The thick stems make them sturdy and they grow well even when floated. Easy to maintain and don’t require much attention. Great for beginners.

Planted them in the substrate and they’ve adapted well after a week. The plant looks healthy and spreads nicely. A bit slower to establish than expected, but worth the wait.
