It is one of the smallest aquarium plants (2-3 cm tall), and thus a good foreground plant. A difficult plant demanding a lot of light. Grows upwards if light is poor. Make sure larger plants do not overshadow it. When planting in the aquarium small clumps (approx. 1\/8 pot) should be placed at intervals of a few centimetres to help the plants grow together more quickly. CO2 addition and soft water promote growth significantly. \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Tropica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42560644317410,"sku":"045A TC","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0323\/1226\/2794\/products\/2_b5b75541-b7e1-49bd-972a-e42ed28d996b.png?v=1646631905"},{"product_id":"pogostemon-erectus","title":"Pogostemon erectus Tissue Culture by Tropica","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Indian Pogostemon erectus forms compact groups of bright green, conifer-like stems, 15-40 cm tall and 1-3 cm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePogostemon erectus is suitable as a background plant and creates a wonderful focal point in both smaller and larger groups.
