Narrow Leaf Temple Plant.
A fine-leaved stem plant that grows into soft, bushy stands of green — elegant in the background of a planted tank. It likes good light and nutrients to stay compact; trim and replant the tops to thicken it up.

Good tank mates
As an aquarium plant, the narrow leaf temple plant is a background companion to community fish rather than a tankmate, and its fine bushy stems give shrimp and small fish shelter. It pairs with peaceful, non-digging community fish; avoid large diggers or heavy plant-eaters like some goldfish, big cichlids, and silver dollars that uproot or strip stem plants. Ask staff if your stock is plant-friendly.
Good to know
Pogostemon stellatus is a fast-growing stem plant that can flush from green to pink and red under strong light and good nutrients, making it a favorite midground-to-background accent in planted layouts.
