"Bakopa flowering time: How long does it flower and when to plant it"
Bakopa is a plant that flowers continuously throughout the warm season. It has wave-like cycles of flowering with peaks twice during the summer.
When does Bakopa flower?
Bakopa flowers usually appear after 3-4 months. Most commonly, Bakopa seeds are sold in a coated form.
Where to plant Bakopa — in shade or sun?
The rules for planting Bakopa include selecting a well-lit location with wind protection. A shaded area also works, but in this case, flowering will be less abundant. Shade isn't recommended for tropical varieties as their stems become elongated and flowers don't grow as big.
When does Bakopa start flowering?
It's best to send Bakopa on a well-deserved rest from mid-November till March. After resting, from May till the end of October, Bakopa will delight you with beautiful flowers.
What does Bakopa dislike?
Bakopa doesn't like water higher than 30 cm. It doesn't feel good in deep aquariums due to a lack of light. It requires bright light, which explains its height preferences. If an aquarium is deeper than 30 cm, it's best to place Bakopa in a separate container positioned on a side shelf closer to the light source.
Useful Tips:
- Bakopa flowers all season, but you can increase flowering by deadheading the spent flowers.
- When planting, ensure the soil remains consistently moist, and apply a light fertilizer once in two weeks.
- For hanging baskets, use Bakopa as a trailing plant as it creates a gorgeous waterfall of flowers from above.
- In winter, Bakopa in containers (in outdoor gardens) should be protected from freezing.
- Use Bakopa as an aquarium ground-cover to create a beautiful aquatic landscape.
Conclusion:
In summary, Bakopa is a gorgeous plant that offers abundant flowering and requires little maintenance. Ensure you plant Bakopa in a well-lit location with wind protection, and provide consistent soil moisture. Remember to give it a winter rest from mid-November until March to ensure abundant flowering throughout the warm season. So, have fun planting and enjoy the beauty of Bakopa!
