Important data
Product description & details
Bacopa salzmannii ‘Purple’ is a beautiful color variant of the Salzmann’s water hyssop, which is originally from America, where it can be found from Mexico to Paragay. It has so far been a rarity in aquaristics and is characterized by its very upright growth and its intense red-violet coloring under strong lighting. However, weaker lighting creates a more green color.
Visually, but also in terms of care, Bacopa salzmannii ‘Purple’ is comparable to the related Bacopa caroliniana. The stems are strong and have dense leaves. Because it hardly forms any branches when growing, it is ideal for Dutch-style aquariums and, especially when placed in groups, looks very beautiful in the middle to background of an aquarium. Bacopa salzmannii ‘Purple’ forms a great contrast, especially to light green plants with different leaf shapes. For the most intense coloring and healthy growth, we recommend sufficiently strong lighting and a balanced supply of nutrients.
