POGOSTEMON STELLATUS NARROWLEAF - My Favorite!

Pogostemon Stellatus ‘Narrow Leaf’ is a striking stem plant loved by aquascapers for its fine, needle-like leaves and vibrant coloration. When grown in good conditions, it displays shades of green, bronze, and even hints of pink or purple near the tips. Its dense, upright growth makes it a perfect choice for adding texture and movement to the midground or background of freshwater aquariums.

Care Tips:
This plant thrives in moderate to high light and benefits greatly from CO₂ injection and regular fertilization, especially with iron-rich nutrients. Under strong light and stable conditions, the leaves become more colorful and compact, while in lower light, it tends to grow taller and more spaced out.

Pogostemon Stellatus ‘Narrow Leaf’ prefers clean, nutrient-rich water with temperatures between 72–82°F and a pH of 6.0–7.5. It can be trimmed frequently to encourage bushier growth and prevent shading of nearby plants. Propagation is simple—just cut healthy stems and replant them in the substrate.
