AquaArt Pogostemon yatabeanus

Pogostemon yatabeanus or "Yatabes Star Plant" comes from East Asia, was originally a swamp plant and is still a rarity in Europe. Tapering leaves and a strictly upright, narrow growth make this novelty an ideal solitary plant that looks particularly distinctive in the middle ground. Thanks to its high adaptability, it can be easily integrated into established underwater gardens - whether as a slender soloist or in illustrious groups.

It can cope with average lighting as well as with an average supply of CO2 and nutrients. Temperatures between 15 to 30°C suit the plant best, the tolerable spectrum of water hardness ranges from soft to very hard; A stable pH value also pleases this frugal plant. In aquascaping, the bright light green colouring scores points, especially in front of reddish to dark dominated backgrounds, Pogostemon yatabeanus provides exciting contrasts. Their growth is only accelerated with a large amount of CO2, otherwise, it is moderate; Height and width vary depending on the conditions. Propagation takes place via cuttings.

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
