Floating & Submerged Plants » Submerged Plants » Moneywort

Moneywort, also known as Brahmi to herbalists, is an excellent plant for aquarists and pond keepers. The leaves are elliptic and grow alternately along the stem. They are bright green, almost lime colored when hit by the light, and make an attractive addition to any aquarium or pond. They are amphibious and will grow either partially or fully submersed.

Moneywort is a moderately hardy stem plant that will thrive in most aquariums and ponds. It will typically grow to 12" tall, but may grow even taller under high light conditions, even continuing to grow horizontally until it reaches the water's surface. If left untrimmed, it will extend its branches out of the water.
