    Description

    Pogostemon deccanensis is a distinctive stem plant with narrow, finely textured leaves and a soft green to reddish tone under strong lighting. Its upright, slightly arching growth adds lightness and movement, making it well suited to the midground or background of planted aquariums.

    Planted in groups, it grows steadily upwards and responds well to regular trimming, which encourages bushier growth and a fuller appearance. Moderate to strong lighting helps bring out its best colour and structure, while added CO₂ improves overall health and density. It prefers stable conditions and is best placed where flow is gentle and consistent.

    Plant Sizes

    The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

    WHAT TO EXPECT

    Tissue cultured plants are supplied young and grown in a sterile environment, so they arrive free from snails, algae and pesticide residue. They may look smaller on arrival, but each cup contains multiple plantlets designed to be divided and planted out, where they establish quickly with minimal melt and grow into place.

    About Tissue Culture Aquarium Plants

    1. Clean, Fresh & Pest-Free

    Tissue culture aquarium plants are grown in clean, sterile laboratory conditions, making them a fresh and reliable choice for planted aquariums. They arrive in sealed cups and are free from snails, algae and pesticide residue.

    2. Easy to Prepare

    Before adding them to your aquarium, remove the plant from the cup and gently rinse away the gel under lukewarm water. The plant can then be divided into smaller portions, giving you more flexibility when placing it around your tank.

    3. Young Plants, Strong Start

    Tissue culture plants are young when supplied, so they may look smaller at first, but they settle in well when given suitable light, nutrients and stable water conditions. Plant or attach them according to the needs of the specific variety.
