Water hyssop in aquarium?

[Alice B]

I got a cutting of water hyssop from a pond customer today, and before putting it in an aquarium, I put it at the edge of one of my ponds. Has anyone kept it fully submerged? Seems to be a marginal

I have no idea but did a search and the general opinion is that it can be totally submerged but only in water no deeper than 12 inches.

NOTE: Water hyssop may be referred to as Bacopa monnieri in this article, in fact, those are the same plants, Bacopa monnieri is the botanical name for Water

Other sites agreed as to the water depth.

It also seems to be very invasive.

well in Texas we're so dry it isn't going too far. It's pretty when it's blooming. Thank you

I lived in Ft. Worth for ~7 years; it may be dry but it sure is humid.

I'll go with humid, but yeah it was dry all last winter, then for 4 months this spring/summer, then we got 8 inches of rain, and now we have no rain in the 10 day forecast so I'm watering again.
