Description

Pogostemon erectus, a closely related species to P. deccanensis, was introduced from India and found to be unsuitable for aquarium cultivation due to unsuccessful attempts at growing it submerged. The species affiliation of the plant marketed by ADA as Pogostemon deccanensis remains unclear.
