Stoffels Bacopa monnieri 'Compact White' Tissue Culture Aquarium Plant

Bacopa monnieri 'Compact White' is an eye-catching compact stem plant prized for its attractive green and creamy-white variegated foliage. Its unusual colouration provides beautiful contrast against traditional green and red aquarium plants, making it an excellent choice for aquascapers looking to introduce brighter tones and fine detail into their planted aquarium.

Supplied as a Stoffels tissue culture plant, it is grown under sterile laboratory conditions and provides a clean, fresh way to introduce plants into your aquarium.

Appearance
Bacopa monnieri 'Compact White' produces small, rounded leaves with attractive green and white to creamy variegation. Each plant can display slightly different patterns, creating a naturally varied appearance as a group develops.

Its more compact growth habit makes it particularly useful in the foreground and midground, where the bright foliage can create a striking highlight amongst darker plants and hardscape.

Lighting & Growth
Bacopa monnieri 'Compact White' performs best under medium to high lighting, which helps maintain compact growth and attractive variegation.

CO₂ supplementation is recommended for the strongest, healthiest growth and can help the plant develop into a denser group. Consistent fertilisation will also help support healthy new foliage.

Regular trimming encourages branching and helps maintain its compact, bushy appearance.

How to Use
Remove the plant from its tissue culture container, thoroughly rinse away the growing gel and carefully divide it into several smaller portions.

Plant the individual stems or small groups directly into aquarium substrate with a little space between each portion. As the plants establish and grow, regular trimming will encourage side shoots and create a fuller, denser group.
