Bacopa australis

Bacopa australis was discovered in southern Brazil (australis = south). The stems reach 10-30 cm in height and 2-4 cm in width. Like other Bacopa species, Bacopa australis is also easy to cultivate in aquariums. Under certain conditions, it creeps along the bottom to form an elegant and decorative light green cushion. When Bacopa australis grows in good light, the leaves turn reddish. It propagates easily by taking lateral shoots and planting them in the substrate.
