Eusteralis Stellata – Aquarium Plant

Eusteralis Stellata (Pogostemon stellatus) is a beautiful stem plant that adds colour, texture and height to a planted aquarium. Its long, narrow leaves grow in dense whorls around the stem, creating an attractive star-shaped appearance.

With good lighting, nutrients and CO₂, the foliage can develop vibrant green, pink, purple or reddish tones, making it an excellent choice for the background or midground of a planted tank.

Care Requirements:

• 🌱 Type: Stem plant
• 💡 Lighting: Medium to high
• 💨 CO₂: Recommended for best growth and colour
• 💧 Difficulty: Moderate
• 📍 Placement: Background / midground
• ✂️ Propagation: Cuttings – trim healthy stems and replant the tops

Regular trimming encourages bushier growth and helps maintain a compact, attractive appearance.
