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 plants are very interesting in color, but otherwise look like your typical money worth. One strange trait is how brittle they are. While removing the wrapping from the root ball, they broke. Just snapped very easily. There where great roots though, so I planted them. Time will tell if they decide to take hold. I like them very much.
I ordered 2 bunches and recieved in like 3 days. I opened package which included warm pack sticker and instructions. Only saw 1 bag was a little upset til I opened it and found 3 bunches of heavily rooted purple bacopa. Great stems and leaves. Ordering again soon
My other plants are doing fine that came with my order. The Purple Bacopa has not done well, day by day pieces are getting smaller and small pieces are floating. I have had it for 2 weeks in the photo. I had all 8 pieces weighted down, I'm down to one, which I suspect will not survive. I would not purchase again, which is sad because in the photos online it looks great. I wasn't impressed with mine from the beginning and wondered if it would survive. I do not seem to have plant eating fish, as I have many other plants they don't seem to bother. Actually, I feel like it should be replaced.
Beautiful, healthy plants, fast shipping, another perfect transaction. Thanks guys. A+
