Bacopa Growing Instructions
Plant bacopa in a sunny or partially sunny location that's protected from drying winds. This plant suffers in dry soil so water every day when summer temperatures soar. If allowed to dry out, bacopa will stop blooming and it will take a week or two for it to send out a new crop of flowers. Feed bacopa with a dilute solution of liquid fertilizer at 7 to ten day intervals.If you are growing bacopa in a moss or other type of hanging basket, soak the entire planter in a pail of water to hydrate the soil. That way you can be sure the soil is totally saturated and won't dry out too quickly.
Bacopa is not intended for human or animal consumption.
