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
My first purple plant. Frankly, I was expecting more green than purple. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised when I opened the package! Bacopa is one of my favorites. I put one in my daughter's tank with her large goldfish. The other went in my community tank with CO2. Hopefully, it thrives. If so, I will definitely get more.
Nice freshwater purple plant. I’ve never seen another one like it and I work in a pet shop!
This plant is growing happily in my tank without any issues. Starting with healthy plants from Dustin’s made setting up my first tank a breeze. I love the purple color. (Also, I have to say a special thank you for such great customer service. My original order was delayed several days by UPS, which resulted in melted/dying plants. The staff at Dustin’s were very understanding and replaced everything in my order without hesitation. I highly recommend Dustin’s Fish Tanks!)
Great looking plant, really large stems with good established roots.
