- Long, wispy leaves
- Easy background plant
- Great cover for fish and shrimp
Pogostemon stellatus 'Octopus' is very eye-catching due to its long, wispy and bright green leaves. This easy stem plant thrives under low to medium light and provides excellent cover for fish and shrimp to hide out. Once it starts getting established, it can grow quite tall in a short amount of time and may require regular trimming.

This plant is great in two ways:
1. Does well in the 83F of my discus tank.
2. Doesn’t get the black algae other plants struggle with.
I’m enjoying how fast it grows and how it converts from leafy to a long thin octopus look.
And it’s good in both substrate or floating.
It might very well be my favorite plant!
When I ordered this plant, I thought I would want to order more, but didn’t. So glad I didn’t!!! This plant doesn’t stop multiplying and will happily take over your tank, if permitted! It propagates easily, so far I had to remove some from my 55gal and put in my 40gal. And as it establishes, it grows even bigger in diameter. My lord, lol!! Much more than I was expecting. Which is both good and bad.
I received three rooted plants in one pot. Two went in a tank full of Danio fry, and the third went into a tank with Buenos Aires tetras, which love to eat plants. They are all doing very well, although growing much faster in the shallower tank. The tetras have taken a couple bites out, but prefer lettuce.
I love the shape of this plant. Very healthy. I love the excellent shipping packing. I’m a repeat customer & have always been thrilled with everything I’ve purchased from AQ CO-OP
Very pleased!
All the plants arrived healthy!
Looks like a nice plant, but upon arrival, I'd say 40% of the leaves were dark & mushy & had to be removed. I planted the good parts and hope it recovers!
Got 3 healthy stems. The packaging was top tier!
Came in a good size with plenty of stems. Like always I’m happy to do business woth aquarium co op
