Check the supplied plant

The exact botanical identity, supplied size and quantity are not specified here. Confirm these details and suitability for submerged aquarium use before buying. This listing should not be treated as a confirmed identification of a particular Bacopa species.

Preparation and planting

Gently rinse and inspect the plant before use. If supplied in a pot, carefully remove the pot and packing material as appropriate to the confirmed planting method. For confirmed aquarium stem plants, plant stems separately in suitable substrate, leaving space for light to reach the lower growth and keeping leaves above the substrate.

Lighting and nutrition

Ask our team to match lighting and plant nutrition to the supplied variety. Use aquarium-safe fertilisers according to their instructions, considering your existing substrate and dosing routine. Confirm whether additional CO2 would benefit this plant rather than assuming it is required.

Water and maintenance

For aquarium use, check suitable temperature and water conditions, keep the setup stable and maintain regular partial water changes. Remove damaged or deteriorating material and allow time for the plant to adjust. Follow trimming and propagation guidance for the confirmed variety.

Livestock compatibility

Digging or plant-eating fish may disturb planting. If keeping shrimp or other sensitive animals, ask about any treatments used on the supplied plant and suitable preparation before introducing it.

Tell Richards Bay Pet Shop about your lighting, substrate and livestock so we can help you choose suitable placement and care. Never release aquarium plants into natural waterways.
