About This Species

Build an aquarium that demands attention. Some planted aquariums blend into the background. Others become the centerpiece of the room.
Potted Moneywort (Bacopa monnieri) was carefully cultivated for hobbyists who love classic, vibrant greens, structural elegance, and versatile aquatic layouts. Featuring dense, upright stems lined with rounded, fleshy leaves, this timeless species is designed to transform an ordinary planted tank into a lush, dynamic aquascape filled with depth, texture, and natural charm.
Whether you are creating a Dutch-style aquarium, a classic Nature Aquarium, or simply looking for an easy-to-grow backdrop plant, Potted Moneywort gives you everything you need to create a layout that stands out.
What You'll Receive
You will receive:
  • 1 potted Bacopa monnieri (Moneywort) ready for easy planting or immediate placement in your tank.
Why We Love This Plant
Not every stunning aquarium plant needs to be high-maintenance.
Potted Moneywort brings together bright lime-to-emerald shades with sturdy, vertical growth to create natural structure and contrast throughout your aquarium.
Selected for its unique round foliage, resilient stems, and adaptable growth habit, Moneywort allows you to build an aquascape with incredible depth and visual interest. Its thick leaves also provide excellent cover for nano tank inhabitants, dwarf shrimp, and fry.
Whether viewed from across the room or up close, this plant creates a clean, classic aesthetic that continually draws your eye.
Perfect For
  • Background and midground aquascaping
  • Dutch-style street layouts
  • Beginner and seasoned planted tank enthusiasts
  • Low-tech planted tanks (no CO₂ injection required)
  • Shrimp, snail, and nano fish aquariums
  • Low-maintenance, high-impact aquatic displays
Plant Care Requirements
  • Difficulty: Easy (No CO₂ Required)
  • Lighting: Low to High
  • CO₂ Required: No (Thrives in low-tech setups; CO₂ speeds up growth and stem density)
  • Growth Rate: Slow to Moderate
  • Recommended Aquarium Size: 5 gallons or larger
While Moneywort thrives effortlessly in low-tech aquariums without injected CO₂, brighter lighting and supplemental CO₂ will encourage faster growth, thicker stems, and fuller side-shoots.
Aquascaping Tip
For the most dramatic effect, plant multiple stems together in small groups or rows toward the midground or background of your aquarium. Trim stem tops regularly to encourage bushy, branching growth and replant the cuttings directly into your substrate to propagate new stems effortlessly.
Shipping
Plants are carefully inspected, packed, and shipped to arrive in excellent condition.
Because these are live plants, shape, stem density, and height may naturally vary depending on lighting, nutrients, and growth stage at the time of shipment.
Looking for Inspiration?
The aquarium setups featured in our photos highlight how potted Moneywort can be used to construct clean vertical lines, create lush background forests, or add structured green accents alongside colorful tank mates and aquatic botanicals.

  • pH: 6.0–7.5

  • KH: 1–8
