Key Features:
- Pine-Like Foliage: Pogostemon erectus is known for its distinctive, bright green leaves that resemble pine needles, giving a unique and eye-catching texture to aquascapes.

Care Requirements:
- Lighting: Pogostemon erectus thrives in medium to high lighting conditions. Adequate light is essential to maintain its compact, bushy growth and bright green coloration.
