A great plant for spring baskets mixed containers and is a fast grower. A well-grown hanging basket can have hundreds of blooms and dense dark-green foliage. Bacopa doesn't tolerate heat well and probably won't survive summer temps in hanging baskets but work well when mixed with other plants. If a Bacopa plant in a mixed container is lost during summer other plants will fill the vacant space.
Growing Tips
Your unrooted cuttings will arrive freshly cut. You will need to
plant them immediately and begin a misting cycle to root the cuttings. This will leech the soil of nutrients, so during the propagation phase use a constant feed of
1/3 the normal recommended dosage of fertilizer until well rooted.
Bacopa takes about 5 weeks to root at 70 degree night temperature depending on you conditions. Botrytis can be a problem.
Unrooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families, but most can be described as tip cuttings (ivy are leaf-and-eye stem cuttings not tips) that stick nicely
in small plug trays such as the 105-plug tray we use (some varieties are better suited for a 50 cell tray, i.e. Angelwing Begonia, Bougainvillea, Setcrecea, etc.). Please do not order unrooted cuttings unless you are an experienced propagator with mist systems and proper temperature control.
