Pogostemon helferi, also known as Downoi, is an aquatic plant that originates in Thailand. Due to its unique wavy leaves and ease of care, they’ve become a popular aquarium plant. They are often used as foreground plant in various aquascapes.
Pogostemon helferi has been known in the scientific community for over 120 years. When it was first discovered in Burma and Thailand, scientists found it around the edge of streams. This explains why it grows so well when attached to limestones. However, the plant was introduced to the aquarium hobby in 1996 by Nonn Panitvong and Arthit Prasartkul. Since then, the plant has been used in various aquascapes.
One of the reasons why this plant is so appealing to aquascapers is because of its adaptability. In their native habitat in Thailand, Pogostemon helferi live in various environments. Throughout the seasons, and depending on the amount of rainfall, the plant may grow as a emersed plant or a submersed plant.
Even though Pogostemon helferi hasn’t been in the aquarium hobby for very long, it has quickly become a favorite among many aquascapers. Considering its unique appearance, versatility, and the ease of care, it’s understandable why so many hobbyists want to incorporate the plant into their aquascapes.
