Kaiser Aquatics Pogostemon stellatus (High Tech)
Kaiser Aquatics Pogostemon stellatus is a striking stem plant prized for its star-shaped leaves and vibrant colouration, bringing movement and texture to midground and background aquascapes. Known for its dynamic growth pattern, it produces lush, full stems that transition in colour—from fresh green tones to warmer hues—under strong lighting and proper nutrients.

| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Fine-leaf stem plant |
| Placement | Midground → Background |
| Growth rate | Medium |
| Height | 20–50+ cm |
| Light demand | High — needs strong light to maintain vibrant colour and star-like leaf whorls |
| CO₂ requirements | High — CO₂ is essential for stable growth and colour intensity |
In a few days, after placing your plants in the aquarium you will notice some of the leaves start to melt and fall away.
This means the transition process has started. Please note the plants might look DEAD, but they are fully alive, so do not panic. Also, after a few days you will notice new growth will appear and the plant will fully change its form into submersed growth. You need to continuously trim and put a fertilizer in for the plants to thrive in your aquarium. Two good fertilizers include Easy Life – Profito and Scape Complete or our premium APT Zero. All plants have specific needs but if you follow the general instructions on our labels the plant will transition well and will eventually succeed and prosper in your aquarium.

*This is a Potted Plant and NOT a Tissue Culture Plant. This plant was grown in a greenhouse and is NOT guaranteed to be snail, algae or pesticide-free. Potted plants are cheaper than Tissue Culture Plants as they are not grown in a sterile laboratory. They generally appear to be bigger than Tissue Culture plants. We recommend Tissue Culture Plant for 100% client satisfaction.

McMerwe’s comments: Kaiser Aquatics Pogostemon stellatus’ tall, bushy growth and dynamic texture make it an excellent choice for background planting in larger planted tanks. [Rating: 5/5]Â

Beautiful plant, fast growing under my aquarium lights. The height received was just below 50mm in height, but it grew quickly to 100mm.

Delivery was fast, and plant was packed in a neat sealed bag with some water. Plant looks perfect with a lot of root growth and no dead or molten leaves. Mcmerwe really takes care of their clients, and attention to detail is superb. Would recommend their products to anyone.
