Care Tips: Bacopa australis is a hardy, attractive aquatic plant that is perfect for the midground or background of your aquarium. It thrives in medium to high lighting and can adapt to a range of water conditions, though it does best with slightly acidic to neutral pH. This plant grows at a medium pace, and regular trimming will help maintain its bushy appearance and encourage healthy growth. Bacopa australis does well in a nutrient-rich substrate, but it can also benefit from additional water column fertilization. CO₂ injection can promote faster growth, although it can also thrive without it in well-maintained tanks. It features thick, rounded leaves and a compact growth habit, making it a great addition to aquascapes seeking a balanced, green appearance. Regular pruning helps prevent it from becoming too tall or leggy, keeping it dense and full.
