Bacopa Serpyllifolia 'Bacopa Japan' (Submersed)

Bacopa Serpyllifolia 'Bacopa Japan' is a unique and highly attractive stem plant known for its small rounded leaves, compact growth, and vibrant bright green colouration. Its delicate appearance and creeping growth habit make it an excellent foreground, midground, or accent plant for planted aquariums and detailed aquascapes.

As a versatile and relatively easy stem plant, Bacopa Japan works beautifully in both low-tech and high-tech aquariums. This submersed-grown specimen arrives already adapted to underwater aquarium conditions, allowing for easier transition and instant aquascape impact.

At N8 Aquatics, our plants are carefully quarantined before sale to help ensure they arrive healthy, clean, and pest-free.

Emersed vs Submersed — Which Grown Form Should You Choose?

Submersed plants are grown fully underwater and are already adapted to aquarium life, so they settle into a planted tank with minimal melt — the best pick for aquascapes and established aquariums.

Emersed plants are nursery-grown above the waterline, ideal for terrariums, paludariums and wabi-kusa. Submerged in an aquarium they typically melt back and regrow as submersed foliage — more so in low-tech tanks without added CO2 — but recover well with good lighting and nutrients.
