Care Tips: Pogostemon sampsonii (cf. pumilus) is a small and attractive plant perfect for the foreground or midground of aquascapes. It grows at a moderate to fast pace, making it a great choice for those looking for a quick-growing plant to fill in space. It prefers medium to high lighting to achieve its compact, bushy growth. The plant thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water conditions and benefits from regular fertilization, both through the substrate and water column, to support its growth. Pogostemon sampsonii (cf. pumilus) does not require CO₂ supplementation but will grow better with it. Regular trimming is necessary to maintain its appearance and prevent it from growing too tall or leggy. This plant can create a beautiful carpet effect or form dense clusters when placed in the foreground, adding soft greenery to aquascapes.
