- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
Moneywort is one of the most popular, adaptable, and durable aquarium plant species, and it makes a great addition to nearly any aquarium setup!
We are excited to now offer this famous stem plant with gorgeous variegation throughout the plant.
Variegated Moneywort (Bacopa monnieri Variegatus) is an rare variant of the extremely popular Moneywort aquarium plant. Variegated Moneywort has pale to bright green coloration with a stunning white marbled variegation throughout the leaves. It has very few requirements beyond reasonably clean, nutrient-rich water and moderate to high lighting. In order to keep the variegation, higher light will be required. It can thrive and grow very quickly even in low-tech setups. It will also grow very well (and even flower) when emersed, so it can also be an excellent paludarium plant.
Care for Variegated Moneywort is relatively simple. It grows quickly when provided with nutrient rich soil and moderate to high lighting. It will grow at a slower pace and with less variegation under low lighting. Like most stem plants, it can be trimmed and cuttings can be replanted. In the case of this prolific plant, regular pruning may be necessary to avoid overgrowth. Like many plants, this plant will respond significantly to CO2, but certainly does not require such supplementation to thrive and grow at a slower pace.
No aquarium plant distributor/nursery/wholesaler/retailer can or will guarantee their plants to be 100% snail free. We can not guarantee our plants will be snail free.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
