Description

Pogostemon helferi Pink is an exceptionally rare variant of the beloved 'Downoi' plant, distinguished by its unique pink tinge that sets it apart from the standard green form. This premium specimen combines the characteristic star-shaped leaf rosettes of P. helferi with delicate pink undertones that create a soft, ethereal appearance rarely seen in aquarium plants.

While the common Pogostemon helferi displays vibrant green coloration, our exclusive pink variant develops subtle pink hues throughout its compact rosettes, intensifying under high lighting conditions. This rare coloration makes it a true collector's plant and an extraordinary focal point for foreground to midground placements in high-tech aquascapes.
