- Long, wispy leaves
- Easy background plant
- Great cover for fish and shrimp
Pogostemon stellatus 'Octopus' is very eye-catching due to its long, wispy and bright green leaves. This easy stem plant thrives under low to medium light and provides excellent cover for fish and shrimp to hide out. Once it starts getting established, it can grow quite tall in a short amount of time and may require regular trimming.
Customer Reviews
When I ordered this plant, I thought I would want to order more, but didn’t. So glad I didn’t!!! This plant doesn’t stop multiplying and will happily take over your tank, if permitted! It propagates easily, so far I had to remove some from my 55gal and put in my 40gal. And as it establishes, it grows even bigger in diameter. My lord, lol!! Much more than I was expecting. Which is both good and bad.
Great addition to my planted tank.
Love this plant, both as a center piece as well as just a great addition to my planted tanks. Ordered 3 and they all came beautiful and healthy.
Both plants arrived in good condition despite the cold weather during shipping. They still look good with no melting.
I think this thing grows 6 inches in 1-2 weeks, I love it. Our black neon tetras are always in or around it. It does get very tall - we have it as a background plant in a 29 gallon, and it does require a little more trimming than our Water Wisteria.
Very happy with it overall!
Though this plant arrived healthy, it was a lot smaller than advertised in photos. It was purchased for my newly acquired, juvenal cherry barbs.
Has been in my 29 gallon aquarium for a few weeks now and it is still healthy and starting to show some growth.
Has taken awhile to get established but it’s starting to push out a lot of new growth after a month! Great plant!
I received my plants quickly and they arrived healthy. I planted them and they still look great a couple of weeks later. They have settled in and started to grow a bit. I added easy root tabs to help. I received an email from aquarium coop checking to make sure I was satisfied.
Came looking good and started growing within two days. One of my very favorites
Arrived in great shape despite the long transit because of the holiday.
