Pogostemon Helferi - Aquarium Gardens
Pogostemon Helferi - Aquarium Gardens

Product Description

Pogostemon Helferi is another wonderful foreground plant that can be use for carpeting, or placed amongst other plants in the foreground . It has lovely crinkled curly green leaves that grow out from the crown, resembling a star shape. With high light, CO2 & nutrients, Pogostemon Helferi will throw out shoots willingly and grow along your substrate. It is also another plant which will happily grow on wood. 

When planting, separate the pot into 4-5 small portions and plant 3-4cm apart. Over time Pogostemon Helferi will form a dense carpet. Alternatively, plant between rocks or wood for a nice effect. Cut away any dead or decaying leaves to help the plant get off to the best start.

Higher light levels will encourage more compact growth, although not essential for the plant to survive. Under lower light, Pogostemon Helferi grows taller. If you see yellow leaves then try increasing nutrient in the water. CO2 is required under higher lighting for healthy growth.

Worked a treat in a low energy setup

I've grown it as an epiphyte In my low-tech hard water tank and it's been really successful - had it slightly higher up attached to wood with thread so it got more light - it's propagated itself relentlessly and I'm now spinning off a colony into a new tank. Going to try it planted this time.

Received two pots of this today, which was very well package and in great condition.

Once removed from the pots and rock wool I had about 9 good sized individual stems plus a few straggly bits from each pot.

This represents very good value for money.

I am now ordering my second batch of plants from aquarium gardens. AS i was very pleased with my first order of healthy first rate plants which are now growing well in my large tank.

  • Superb quality plants.

    Superb quality plants. Delivered quickly and packaged superbly. I won’t be going anywhere else to get my aquarium plants and aquascaping equipment.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Dave and the guys at Aquarium Gardens are without doubt the leaders in their field of Aquascaping. My wife and I have visited several times over the last couple of years and have always received fantastic advice and guidance. Two years ago we had one small tank, we now have three aquascapes all running CO2, this definitely wouldn’t be possible without all the support from the guys at Aquarium Gardens. Carry on doing what you’re doing because your business model is superb…..thanks once again Malcolm & Cheryl Orgill

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
