Pogostemon stellatus is a stunning stem plant originating from Southeast Asia and Australia. There are several varieties of this plant currently in the hobby, differentiated mostly by leaf size. A narrow-leaved variety first emerged in the hobby about 10 or 12 years ago, which was initially sold and traded under the erroneous name of Eusteralis stellata. A broad-leaf variety from New Guinea can grow quite large if given the room, with a leaf span of 8 inches or more across. Newest in the hobby is the needle-leaf variety, with the finest leaves of all. When provided with proper conditions, the stems of P. stellatus can develop a stunning reddish to purplish coloration, adding a vibrant touch to a planted aquarium layout.
