Pogostemon stellatus, also known as Eusteralis stellata and Dysophylla stellata, is a beautiful species of plant that thrives in wetlands. It has fine-leaved stems with broad leaves or narrow ones. One of the narrow-leaf forms is partly labeled as P. stellatus "Strong" but it shares the same submerged foliage traits as other "normal" Pogostemon Stelatis plants do.
The water star is mostly delivered in its terrestrial form with light green leaves. Placed into an aquarium, it grows new shoots of very narrow, purple to reddish-purple leaves in whorls. The branches become more than 10 cm wide and are branched..

Green Syngonium, also known as Syngonium podophyllum or Arrowhead Vine, is a popular houseplant and aquatic plant in the family Araceae. It is native to tropical rainforests in Central and South America, but is widely cultivated as an indoor or outdoor plant in many parts of the world.
In aquariums, Green Syngonium is often used as a low-maintenance foreground or midground plant. It can grow both submerged or emersed, and is usually planted in the substrate or attached to hardscape such as rocks or driftwood. The plant has arrowhead-shaped leaves that are typically green with white or silver veins. When grown emersed, the plant can produce small white flowers.
Green Syngonium is an easy-to-care-for plant that tolerates a wide range of lighting and water conditions. It prefers bright, indirect light and water temperatures between 20-28°C. It can also be grown in a wide range of water hardness and pH, but does best in slightly acidic to neutral conditions. The plant does not require CO2 injection, but can benefit from regular fertilization to promote healthy growth.
