Bacopa caroliniana is one of the easiest plants to care for in the aquarium industry, which is why it has become so popular. It is very tolerant to a range of water conditions, so it fits well into most setups. Bright lights turn the leaves reddish-brown and bushier, but plants in low light will be green with the leaves more spaced out.
