Bacopa Monnieri, also known as 'moneywort' among aquarists and 'brahmi' among herbalists, is quite widespread throughout the tropics where it can be found growing along the banks of lakes, rivers, and pools. Bacopa Monnieri is one of the easiest stem plants to grow, as it makes very few demands on the hobbyist other than bright lighting. If lighting is not intense enough, the lower portions of this plant tend to rot. CO2 is beneficial, but not necessary. This undemanding stem plant grows vertically even under very high light conditions.
