I have had my planted 20 gal for about a week with a small bubble filter and a 20 gallon quiet filter as well. I have seachem flourite as substrate with some java fern, anubius, and some Bacopa Caroliniana. But almost all of the bacopa isn't growing, like it turns into just stalks now, there are almost no leaves and they don't grow, I don't have a heater and the water is about 69 degrees. I am upset because they looked nicer when I bought them at petsmart and now they just look like ugly stalks. What am I doing wrong here? I am a beginner, there is no fish in my tank yet but I did buy an algae eater today and I will see how he does in the tank. 
 
I will be buying a 100 watt heater today.

Sorry about your plant troubles.
Perhaps if your able to post your water parameters: Ammonia, PH, Nitrites, Nitrates, GH and KH, (anything you have a test for) someone more knowledgeable than myself will be able to suggest remedies.
I'm also a beginner.
 
I have trouble growing bacopa as well tbh.

It survives but does not grow much if at all.

My water is hard and ph highish at 8.0, perhaps its more of a softwater type of plant.
