Purple Aquarium Plant, Bacopa Salzmannii for Gravel or Nutrient-Rich Substrates and Varied Light

Bacopa Salzmannii Purple is a striking aquarium stem plant distinguished by its vivid purple coloring, subtly fuzzy stem, and slightly rubbery feel. Its unusual appearance brings dramatic color and texture to a planted aquatic display.

Allow about a week for the plant to settle in. Once established, it can grow fairly quickly for a plant of this color. It prefers somewhat stronger light, although it can handle less light and may simply take longer to settle.

Key Features

• Vivid purple coloring creates a bold, wild-looking presence in the aquarium.
• The stem has a small amount of soft, fluffy fuzz that adds visible texture.
• Its stem is similar in thickness to Bacopa Yellow Flame but is less stout.
• It can be planted directly in straight gravel for a straightforward aquarium setup.
• A nutrient-rich base supports better performance than plain gravel alone.
• Suitable for consideration with larger fish other than cichlids; avoid relying on it for cichlid aquariums.
