Bacopa Salzmannii Purple
Bacopa Salzmannii Purple is a new plant to us. This plant has the rubbery feel of Bacopa Yellow Flame except instead of fire red, this plant is Bomb Purple!
It has the same thickness of stem as a Bacopa Yellow Flame but isn't as stout. The stem has a tiny bit of fluffy fuzz to it as well. We have found it takes a week or so to really get rolling, once settled in it grows pretty quickly for a plant of this kinda color.
It likes a tad more light but we have found it doesn't mind less light, it just wont settle in as fast.
Unlike Bacopa Yellow Flame, I wouldn't trust this plant with Cichlids, but I would try it with other larger fish.
One nice thing about all Bacopa is that they don't mind being planted in straight gravel, though they do better with a nutrient rich base. GET ONE They are a wild looking plant.
Customer Reviews
These things look and match great, your typical bacopa but purple. I love it and you should too.
Came with good roots and super deep purple color. More so than the pictures show.
I received several pieces of Bacopa that were approx 5 inches long with the ends wrapped so tightly together that they were completely smashed and had to come off. Now I have 3.5 to 4 in pieces that don't look like they'll even live.
This plant was definitely more sturdy than the picture shows. Nice thick stems and a Smokey purple color. I will get some more once my natural color sand tank is up and running.
Came in beautiful but am thinking after they settle into the tank they will be even better. I already ordered more because I underestimated the floor space in my tank
