Pogostemon deccanensis

Product description

Pogostemon deccanensis from India, formerly known as Pogostemon erectus, forms compact clusters of light green, needle-like stems that grow to about 15–40 cm tall and 1–3 cm wide. The plant is very suitable as a background plant and creates a beautiful eye-catcher in both small and large groups.

Strong lighting helps the plant maintain its compact growth habit for a longer period of time. It has moderate growth and develops strong roots. Pogostemon deccanensis needs regular pruning, and cut shoots root easily and start growing quickly when replanted.
