Aquatic Plants
READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.
Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.
Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Pogostemon Helferi was discovered in Thailand, close to the border of Burma. Its name 'Downoi' means little star in Thailand due to its leaf shape and overall look. Unusual and distinctive, this aquatic plant is compact with curly leaves and has vivid green coloration.
If kept under proper conditions with good lighting and quality substrate, Downoi forms side shoots with small roots that have the capability to turn into a lush foreground carpet.
