Bacopa monnieri 'Serrata'

About this plant

Serrata is a Bacopa monnieri culture form described by its producer as having finely toothed leaf margins. It is retained as a horticultural selection, not asserted to be a formally accepted botanical variety. Plant a visible group rather than hiding the small leaf-edge detail behind larger stems. Maintaining an open lower canopy helps the foliage remain useful throughout the group. Compare mature submerged leaves when checking the serrated trait; damaged margins or grazing marks should not be confused with the selected leaf shape. Plant sound shoots with enough space for light and water movement to reach their lower leaves. Use balanced macro- and micronutrient nutrition rather than treating colour alone as evidence of a specific deficiency. Trim established shoots and replant healthy tops to renew an ageing group. Nursery-grown leaves can change shape or be shed after submersion; assess the condition of new shoots and roots. Remove decaying material rather than allowing it to accumulate below the canopy. Care ranges, where supplied, describe reported cultivation conditions rather than measured lethal limits. Width and nutrient concentrations are left unspecified where no defensible form-specific values are available.
