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. The plants usually grow as emersed, creeping stems during the dry season, during which they tend to produce pinkish flowers at the leaf nodes. During the wet season, the rising water level usually submerges the plants for several months during which they grow in their more familiar, aquatic form. B. monnieri is one of the most common stem plants in the hobby, with its popularity stemming from its ease of growth and unique foliage.
