Pogostemon erectus Tissue Culture – Upright Pine-Like Stem Plant
Pogostemon erectus is a striking needle-leaf stem plant with a unique pine-like appearance and vibrant bright green coloration. The tissue culture version ensures a pest-free, algae-free, and snail-free start, making it perfect for shrimp-safe aquascapes and high-tech planted tanks.
Native to India, Pogostemon erectus naturally grows along riverbanks and shallow wetlands. In aquariums, it forms dense, conical stems with fine needle-like leaves, adding vertical texture and a lush green backdrop for midground and background planting.
Lighting: Medium to high light encourages compact growth and vibrant color.
CO₂ & Nutrients: Benefits greatly from CO₂ injection and iron-rich fertilization.
Placement: Best for midground to background; plant stems in clusters for dense, bushy growth.
Water Conditions: Thrives in 70–82°F (21–28°C), pH 6.0–7.5, soft to moderately hard water.
Maintenance: Trim regularly to propagate and maintain desired shape.
Pest-free, algae-free, and snail-free for safe introduction to sensitive tanks.
Lab-grown under sterile conditions for maximum plant health.
Ships in sealed nutrient gel cups — rinse and plant directly.
No quarantine needed before introducing to the aquarium.
Unique needle-like foliage adds vertical structure to aquascapes.
Fast-growing and easy to propagate.
Creates a vivid green background that contrasts well with red and darker plants.
Suitable for CO₂-enriched, high-light tanks.
