How to plant & care for Bacopa
Bacopa likes to be watered a few times per week to keep the soil moist. If the soil gets too try the buds will drop off and it will take the plant a few weeks to recover.
Bacopa will thrive in both a sunny or partial shady location. Your plant will get the most blooms if placed in a sunny spot!
Prune in the Spring by removing the tops of growing stems and then in Summer, cut it back about 6 inches to your desired look. This will promote new growth.
Take a few cuttings from your existing Bacopa plant and place the bottom part of the stem into soil that is mixed heavily with compost. Wait for roots to grow then transplant to desired spot.
Fertilize 1-2 times per month.
