Although this plant has been scientifically recognised for a long time, it was only "discovered" for aquariums a few years ago. With its highly decorative, strongly wavy leaf edges, it is probably one of the most beautiful foreground plants. At first glance, it looks like a rosette plant, but it is actually a strongly compressed stem plant. If a few basic cultivation conditions are met, Pogostemon helferi forms beautiful plant cushions: good to intensive lighting, temperatures around 25 °C, medium-hard water. Under these conditions, its leaf colour is rich green.
