Pogostemon Helferi 'Marble' is a stunning variegation of the popular aquatic plant Pogostemon Helferi, also known as "Downoi." This unique variant is characterized by its striking jade and white coloration, giving it a marbled appearance that adds a touch of elegance to any aquascape. The leaves exhibit a mix of light jade green with subtle hints of white, creating a beautiful contrast that makes it stand out from the standard Pogostemon Helferi. Its compact, rosette-like growth and wavy leaf structure provide a dynamic texture, making it an excellent choice for the foreground in aquariums.

Like its non-variegated counterpart, Pogostemon Helferi 'Marble' thrives in nutrient-rich environments with moderate to high lighting. However, its variegated nature means it may be slightly more sensitive to changes in water parameters, requiring stable conditions to maintain its vibrant appearance. CO2 supplementation is recommended to support healthy growth and to preserve the delicate coloration of its leaves. This plant propagates through runners, and with proper care, it can spread to create a lush, jade-tinted carpet across the substrate.

Care Tips:

  • Substrate: Use nutrient-rich substrate or aqua soil.
  • Lighting: Moderate to high lighting to maintain its variegated coloration.
  • Temperature: Ideal range is between 22-28°C (72-82°F).
  • pH: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral water, ideally between 6.0-7.5.
  • Nutrients: Medium; benefits from regular fertilization and CO2 supplementation.
  • Propagation: Spreads through runners; regular trimming helps promote healthy growth.
  • Growth: Moderate; requires consistent care to maintain its variegation.
  • Difficulty: Intermediate to Advanced
