Sreepadma C54 Pogostemon eructus | TC Live Plant

Sreepadma C54 Pogostemon erectus is a premium tissue culture aquarium plant admired for its unique pine tree-like appearance and vibrant green, needle-shaped leaves. Its upright growth pattern makes it one of the most attractive background stem plants for nature-style, Dutch-style, and aquascaped aquariums. When planted in groups, it forms dense, lush green bushes that create depth, texture, and a striking vertical accent.

This 100% laboratory-grown tissue culture plant is free from algae, snails, pests, and harmful chemicals, making it completely safe for shrimp tanks, planted aquariums, and sensitive aquatic livestock. Under proper lighting, CO₂ supplementation, and nutrient dosing, Pogostemon erectus develops thick stems with compact foliage, giving your aquarium a professional aquascaping look. Regular trimming encourages branching, resulting in fuller and denser growth.

Dose quality liquid fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients. Iron supplementation helps maintain healthy green coloration.

Water Parameters
