Pogostemon Erectus is a popular aquarium stem plant with slender leaves that feature a neon green to yellow coloration. This is the perfect aquatic stem plant to contrast and pair with other aquarium plants such as Rotala H’ra or Rotala sp. Green. Under intense aquarium lighting, Pogostemon Erectus will stay and grow more compact in size and shape. Like most other aquarium stem plants, Pogostemon Erectus also relies heavily on a nutrient-rich planted aquarium substrate. If provided with optimal planted aquarium conditions, this plant will grow vigorously and will not mind frequent trimming.
