Pogostemon Yatabeanus (Bearded) is a pale green stem plant. It grows on the banks of rivers, ponds, swamps and rice fields in eastern and southern China, the Korean peninsula and Japan. The size and shape of the leaves are somewhat reminiscent of Pogostemon stellatus. The leaves and stem are green in color. The leaves are 4-6 cm long and narrow. In the aquarium the plant is very conspicuous and forms forest-like compositions with evenly planted trees.
It grows vertically upwards and does not interfere with other plants. It does well in a group. It is a very decorative plant that is perfect for the background. It has a stiff red stem that is densely covered with bright green, pointed leaves that grow in threes in a whorl. It makes an ideal shelter for smaller fish species and shrimp. It looks most beautiful in a group of about a dozen seedlings.
Plant Pogostemon Yatabeanus in the substrate. The best growth results can be achieved by using an active substrate. Under good conditions, it spreads very quickly. The administration of liquid fertilizer with micro and macro elements has a positive effect on its development. It can reach a height of up to 40 cm. It thrives best in an acidic to neutral pH. It requires good filtration and weekly water changes in the aquarium. Requires an additional addition of carbon dioxide. Pogostemon yatabeanus has high light requirements. Under good conditions it grows quickly and compacts well. The intense growth of the plant is greatly enhanced by the dosage of carbon dioxide and the addition of micro and macro elemental fertilizers.
It is easy to shape and prune. It requires little maintenance. It reproduces by lateral regrowth.
As with most stems, cut stems can be replanted in the ground. Divide the purchased plant into individual stems and plant them at close 2-3 cm intervals. Pogostemon yatabeanus spreads very quickly, so you should give it enough space to grow.
Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance on the selected items.

Rotala rotundifolia 'Green
Rotala Rotundifolia 'Green' Rotala Rotundifolia 'Green' (Round-leaved Rotala) is a mid-ground plant. It is characterized by fast growth and moderate light requirements. The color is usually light green.Difficulty of growing: easy Light requirements: medium CO₂ requirements: not necessary Height of mature plant: 50-60 cm Growth: fast Temperature: 20-28°C Placement in aquarium: third level Origin: South Asia, Southeast Asia Cup diameter 6 cm The natural range of the round-leaved Rotalas (Rotala rotundifolia) is South, Southeast and East Asia. It has been spread by humans to Australia, the United States and Brazil, among other places. She is thus already almost a globetrotter.Rotala rotundifolia 'Green' is very similar to Rotala rotundifolia, but its leaves remain bright green even in bright light. This plant is characterized by its fast growth and its tendency to spread profusely, especially when regularly pruned. It tolerates medium light levels, but the higher the light, the more intense the plant's growth and colors. If left to grow freely, it reaches a length of 30-60 cm, cutting off access to light to the lower parts, where it begins to lose its leaves. Under favorable conditions, if left uncontrolled, it can dominate an entire tank, especially if it is a tank with a small capacity. Once it reaches the surface of the water, it begins to float on it. It does not need additional carbon dioxide fertilization unless you want to accelerate its growth even more. It is tolerant of pH and water hardness, although like most plants, it cannot tolerate extremes. It tolerates temperatures between 20 and 28 °C, but thrives better in the upper end of this range. It can grow in both an active and a poor substrate, but in this case it is advisable to fertilize under the roots. In well-lit, CO2-fertilized aquariums, it may require additional fertilization with macronutrients due to its rapid growth. Otherwise, it will lose its color and the leaves will become smaller. Rotala rotundifolia is propagated in the aquarium by cutting off stem pieces and placing them in a selected spot in the substrate. When transplanted to a new tank, it will need some time to acclimate and grow faster.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance into the substrate.
