{"product_id":"bacopa-salzmannii-purple-potted-aquarium-plant","title":"Bacopa salzmannii 'Purple' (Potted Aquarium Plant)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA potted stem plant with purple-and-green foliage that adds colour contrast to freshwater aquascapes. Grown under medium to high lighting, it gives background and midground areas a point of visual interest that plain green stem plants don't provide. Suited to aquarists at any stage, from newly planted tanks to established aquascapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBacopa salzmannii 'Purple' is a stem plant that shows genuine purple tones through its green foliage, a colour note most background stem plants don't offer. It's supplied as a pack of five pots, ready to divide into stem cuttings and plant into a freshwater aquascape. The plant suits aquascapers who want a point of colour contrast rather than another shade of green, and the purple intensifies under medium to high lighting, giving the display a bolder, more layered look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNative to South American wetlands, it adapts well to typical planted-tank conditions. It's generally placed toward the background of a layout, though the same stems also work in the midground where more height variation and colour are wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowth is moderate, which keeps trimming manageable and makes the plant easy to shape as the aquascape develops. A nutrient-rich substrate and regular fertilising keep growth steady, and CO2 addition is worth considering if you want to push growth rate and colour further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew plants come from simple stem cuttings, so a single pot can be divided and replanted as it fills in. It's described as a plant that works well for aquarists at different stages of experience, from those building a first planted tank through to more deliberate aquascaping projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSouth America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquarium placement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBackground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AquaticsHub","offers":[{"title":"Potted (pack of 5)","offer_id":57680864739701,"sku":"TRP-043B","price":30.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/0610\/4949\/files\/bacopa-salzmannii-purple-potted-aquarium-plant.jpg?v=1792442556","url":"https:\/\/aquaticshub.co.uk\/products\/bacopa-salzmannii-purple-potted-aquarium-plant","provider":"AquaticsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
