Care Tips: Pogostemon Stellata is a popular aquatic plant known for its beautiful, narrow leaves and bushy growth. It thrives in medium to high lighting, and requires temperatures between 22–28°C to flourish. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5). The plant's growth rate is medium to fast, making it a great choice for aquariums that need a bit of filling in the midground or background areas. Regular pruning is essential to maintain its bushy appearance and to prevent it from becoming too leggy. It does well in nutrient-rich substrates and benefits from CO2 supplementation, which encourages faster and healthier growth. Pogostemon Stellata can be propagated by cutting and replanting its stems. Fertilizing with liquid nutrients will help keep the plant thriving and vibrant. It is also important to perform regular water changes to ensure it gets the best growth conditions. This plant is excellent for adding vibrant green tones and texture to aquascapes.
