Pogostemon Erectus
Pogostemon Erectus is a beautiful background plant in your aquarium. Deriving it from the name ‘erectus’ it does grow tall and straight so you would want to put it way back as it tends to fill up your background as it matures. You can grow it in medium light and has medium CO2 requirements. You can also grow Pogostemon Erectus emersed. Its leaves shrink a little but it is still a beautiful plant to have in your pond or aquarium.
We have both the submerged and emersed state of Pogostemon Erectus in our small farm. Some more information about Pogostemon Erectus:
