Bacopa salzmannii 'Purple' is a new beauty among the coloured aquarium plants. The submerged leaves are intensely dark purple in colour and oval with a size of up to 2 cm. The new fatty leaf plant is quite easy to care for and rather slow growing. Medium to strong lighting is recommended, as well as a good supply of nutrients and of course, sufficient CO2. Bacopa salzmannii 'Puple' is well suited to a variety of set-up styles, e.g. in Holland aquariums or for aquascaping aquariums. The emerse use in a Wabi Kusa is certainly also interesting.
