Description
This small plant became known via the ADA tissue culture line under the name "Pogostemon deccanensis". However the customary "Pogostemon erectus" has already been identified as Pogostemon deccanensis, confusingly. Therefore we name our plant provisionally Pogostemon cf. deccanensis. It develops under water upright shoots with very narrow, needle-like light-green leaves in whorls as well. However, under the same conditions, its shoots stay considerably smaller than the true P. deccanensis ("erectus"). The submerged shoots are about 2 to 2.5 cm wide, the light to medium green leaves 1 to 1.6 cm long. The plant also has higher demands and grows much slower. It is even possible that this plant is the actual Pogostemon erectus.
We recommend for this small Pogostemon rather strong lighting, CO2 and regular macro- and micronutrient supply. It is propagated by cuttings, as well as other stem plants. From a length of about 15 cm, the stems tend to become bare at the bottom and form many water roots. It is best to cut off such shoots and place the upper part as a cutting in the substrate.
This still somewhat enigmatic, slow-growing stem plant looks like a miniature version of the commonly available "P. erectus" (P. deccanensis). It is very decorative as a bush up to about 15 cm tall in the middle ground or also in the foreground and is also recommended for nano aquariums.How many plants do I need?

Despite dark start, the plant melted badly at first. The other in-vitro plants had no problem with the soil. (read more)

Ist erstmal geschmolzen
Trotz Darkstart ist die Pflanze erstmal richtig geschmolzen. Die anderen In Vitro Pflanzen hatten kein Problem mit dem Soil. Sie wachsen an einigen Stellen jetzt in kleinen Mengen gesund nach und das wird mir auch zur Vermehrung reichen.
Es lag nicht an der Qualität der Pflanzen, die war gut. Ich glaube die waren einfach empfindlich oder haben die Kälte während der Lieferung nicht vertragen. Sie waren in Styropor und mit Heatpack verpackt, dennoch eiskalt. Aber ob Ihnen das was ausmacht kann ich nicht sagen. Habe sie viele Stunden akklimatiaieren lassen.
