Pogostemon quadrifolius

Info

Pogostemon quadrifolius is a new water starwort from Laos. This species is closely related to Pogostemon stellatus. This new stem plant is sometimes also referred to as Pogostemon stellatus ‘Octopus‘. It is very easy to care for and grows very strongly. For this reason, the stock of plants should be frequently replanted by means of head cuttings. The side shoots can also be used, they grow somewhat slower and are therefore also recommended for Nano Cubes.
