Plants

  The more sophisticated Indian star grows to about 30 to 40 cm high and is perfect for the background of the aquarium. The fine-leaved Pogostemon Erectus is a light green radiant eye-catcher in the aquarium with its needle-thin, star-shaped leaves. The relatively upright growing Indian star plant needs additional fertilisation with CO2 and medium to strong light to develop really well. Regular pruning is well tolerated, then the plant doesn't spread but gets bushy.

• Easy to keep, fine-leaved stem plant
• Rarity, hardly available elsewhere
• Light green to light red hues
