thanks Fern – I’ll keep a lookout for a more mature plant – I purchased a teeny weeny plug – but I must say it has grown quite a bit in 1 week

Felicity–You can often buy a bacopa plant pretty close to 20 cm long already. Young bacopa plants grow pretty quickly, but once they get closer to their mature size (45ish cm, depending on the variety), their growth slows down and they seem to focus more on getting bushier and not longer.

i have never grown bacopa before – how much growth do you think it will get in say 6 weeks – would it get to a 20cm drop?

Thanks Gen and Louise!

Kimberly — Are you cutting the lining in an ‘X’? You should only make the cut just barely big enough to (gently) squeeze the plant’s leaves through. And then once the plant is all squared away, you should pull the flaps back into place around the base of the plant. Then, fill in with more potting soil and add the next plant.
