Description
Pogostemon stellatus ‘Octopus’ lives up to its name—this plant sends out long, flowing leaves that twist and wave like underwater tentacles. A favorite in planted tanks for its texture and fast growth, it creates motion and depth, especially in the background where its tall, airy stems can really shine.
Despite its exotic look, it’s surprisingly beginner-friendly. Given good lighting, it grows quickly and helps soak up excess nutrients, making it both decorative and functional.
Care and Planting Directions
Plant the stems into nutrient-rich substrate with space between each to allow light through. Medium to high lighting is best, though it will still grow in lower light—just slower. CO₂ isn’t required but can promote more compact, fuller growth. Trim and replant cuttings to propagate.

Pogostemon stellatus
Plants came in looking very healthy. Packaging was excellent. Would not hesitate to order here again.

Summer heat
It lasted one week. It was a little over heated when I got it, so can't control the weather. Ones I got before where awesome and took root quickly.

WOW
This plant was STUNNING. It was so fluffy and full, exactly what I was looking for! I bought the same plant from somewhere else a few months ago and it was nice, but it was nothing like this one! Great quality, fast shipping, amazing price. This will definitely be my go to place for plants!

Okay...smaller than expected for price
It was alive and after so extra lighting and foot tabs, it's thriving well.
