How do I propagate it?
Trim the stems as needed; cut shoots will root and grow again once replanted, so you can build up more plants over time.
Suitable for aquascapers who want a dense column of bright green, conifer-like foliage to structure a planted tank, this stem plant grows 15-40 cm tall and rewards attention with tidy, upright growth. Strong lighting helps it stay compact for longer, so it holds its shape rather than sprawling. Because cut shoots root easily when replanted, a single batch multiplies into fuller groups over time.
Pogostemon deccanensis is an upright stem plant with fine, bright green shoots that resemble miniature conifers, native to India. It forms compact, columnar clusters of stems that hold a tidy, vertical shape as the plant matures.
It suits planted tanks where you want a strong vertical accent, whether as a single dense clump or several grouped together for a bigger visual impact. Growth is moderate, and the root system develops vigorously, helping the plant anchor itself securely into the substrate.
Strong lighting helps the stems stay compact for longer, keeping the columnar shape intact as the plant matures. Expect to prune it regularly to keep that shape tidy; any shoots you trim away will root and grow again once replanted, so maintenance doubles as a way to produce more plants.
You can order it as a pack of five pots or as a pack of three 1-2-Grow! cups, listed as separate options; pick whichever starting format suits how you want to establish it in your tank.
This plant was previously sold as Pogostemon erectus, so you may find it listed under that older name elsewhere.
