Pogostemon Stellatus ‘Octopus’

Pogostemon stellatus ‘Octopus’ is a distinctive aquatic plant known for its long, thin, and flowing leaves that resemble tentacles, giving it its “Octopus” name. The plant is fast-growing and relatively easy to care for, making it a favorite among aquascapers for adding texture and volume to aquariums. Its light green to yellowish-green leaves can take on subtle red or purple hues under higher lighting and CO2 conditions.

Pogostemon stellatus ‘Octopus’ is an adaptable plant that thrives in a range of environments, though it grows best with medium to high lighting and CO2 supplementation. Its rapid growth helps absorb excess nutrients, making it a good choice for nutrient control in an aquarium.

Care Tips:

  • Maintain water temperature between 22-28°C with a pH range of 6.0-7.5 for optimal growth.
  • Medium to high lighting will enhance the plant’s vibrant appearance and help it maintain its fast growth rate.
  • CO2 supplementation is recommended for better growth and to support its lush, flowing leaf structure, though it can survive in low-tech setups with slower growth.
  • Regular pruning is necessary to prevent it from overshadowing other plants and to maintain its attractive appearance.

Ideal Placement in Aquarium: Pogostemon stellatus ‘Octopus’ is typically used as a background or midground plant due to its tall, flowing nature. Its long, delicate leaves create a soft, waving effect that contrasts well with broader-leafed or denser plants. It can be used to create a dynamic, natural appearance in aquascapes, providing hiding spots for fish and invertebrates. Its fast growth makes it ideal for filling in spaces and establishing a lush environment quickly.
