Pogostemon Stellatus 'Octopus'

Pogostemon stellatus ‘Octopus’ is a fast-growing stem plant known for its long, thin, bright green leaves that spread out like octopus tentacles—giving it its name. It creates a wild, flowing look in the background of aquariums.

It grows best under medium to high lighting and benefits from added CO₂, though it can survive without it. With proper care, it grows quickly and may develop slightly reddish tones near the top under strong light. Regular trimming helps keep it bushy and prevents it from shading other plants.
