Tropica Pogostemon erectus CUP

The Indian star plant inspires with dense leaves, upright growth, lush green and closely spaced stems that are reminiscent of small conifer seedlings. Planted in groups, it forms great backdrops in the background, whether it is a lush or puristic layout. In larger pools, small arrangements can optically break up the foreground. In good lighting conditions, it grows quickly and compactly because it forms a strong network of roots; regular thinning is recommended. It is considered to be an extremely long-lived and rather simple plant!

• Light requirement: rather bright and sunny
• Optimal temperature: 18 to 30°C - very tolerant
• Water values: high tolerance
• pH value: 5 to 7
• Addition of CO2 and nutrients: recommended
• Propagation: 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.
