I'm debating on which species to buy. Both have a similar look and feel, but I would like to purchase the species that is less sensitive. I've heard different testimonials of both being difficult AND easy, so I'm curious what everyone's experiences are. Thanks!

LA and Pogostemon stellatus 'Broad Leaf' are similar. But Pogostemon stellatus is a very different plant, its fairly difficult, needs lots of light and CO2, even then I have had problems with it stunting.

Pogostemon stellatus 'Broad Leaf' vs LA- PS gets much larger then LA, but for growing conditions they are about the same

Hmm... looks like I'll head in the LA direction then. I see you have some in your 29g (beautiful, BTW). Looks like its pretty hardy for your set up!
