Beginner-friendly
Moneywort (Bacopa monnieri) is a classic easy-care background stem plant with small, rounded, bright green leaves on upright stems. It is closely related to Bacopa caroliniana but has smaller, rounder leaves and stays slightly more compact under similar conditions. It ships as a small bunch of cut stems, lead-weighted together at the base.
Moneywort is forgiving, fast relative to Bacopa caroliniana, and tolerates a wide range of water parameters. It grows under medium light without CO2 and is a reliable choice for new aquascapers looking for a green background plant that just works. The stems should be separated, trimmed at the base, and planted individually.
Care Notes
Moneywort grows under medium light without CO2. Basic liquid fertilization supports steady growth. Trim tall stems regularly and replant the tops to keep the bunch dense. Left untrimmed, lower leaves may drop as the stem stretches toward the light.
The plant propagates easily by topping and replanting cuttings. It can also be left to float temporarily for different growth form, though planted stems give a tidier appearance.
