AquaArt Pogostemon helferi

'Daonoi' - little star - is called Pogostemon helferi, a spectacular green stem plant, in its Thai homeland. Those who look at the curled leaves in a star-shaped arrangement will prefer this name. In the aquarium, it thrives under good light conditions and nutrient-rich substrates 5 to 10cm in upright growth with dense foliage. The foreground and middle ground are ideal for both group and solo arrangements, but it also works as a sapphire plant! Since it is not very demanding, it pleases both professionals and beginners.

Small Water Star is an easy-care, very adaptable species of Pogostemon that, with its attractive appearance, makes even beginners happy. It can also be easily propagated by cuttings or division - ideal for later group arrangements in larger tanks!
