Product details

The Pogostemon erectus is a striking, fast-growing aquatic plant known for its bright green, pine-like foliage that adds height and texture to aquascapes. Its vertical, bushy growth makes it an excellent choice for the background or midground in planted tanks. Grown in-vitro, this plant arrives free from pests, algae, and contaminants, providing a healthy start for your aquarium.

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.
Fast-Growing Plant: With the proper lighting and CO2, this plant grows quickly and forms dense, tall bushes that add depth to the tank.
In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, this plant is free from pests, algae, and pathogens, ensuring a clean introduction to your aquarium.
Great for Aquascaping: Its tall, bushy growth makes it perfect for use as a background plant or a midground feature in larger aquariums, providing vertical interest and contrast to other plants.

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.
CO2: While Pogostemon erectus can grow without CO2, supplementation is highly recommended to promote faster growth and fuller, denser foliage.
Water Parameters: This plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral water, with a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and temperatures between 22-28°C. Nutrient-rich water and substrate support optimal growth.
Trimming: Regular trimming helps maintain its compact, bushy shape and encourages side shoot development. Cuttings can be replanted to propagate more plants throughout the aquarium.

Planting Tips:

Rinse the plant thoroughly to remove the nutrient gel before planting in your aquarium.
Plant Pogostemon erectus in a nutrient-rich substrate, spaced evenly in the background or midground to create vertical interest and lush green coverage.
Ensure medium to high lighting and CO2 supplementation to promote rapid growth and compact form.
