Description
Eriocaulon Cinereum
Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup.
The genus Eriocaulon is usually adapted to soft water. Eriocaulon cinereum is more tolerant than most and will thrive in medium-hard water. Soft water will promote overall health.
This is a quite small, very narrow-leaved and almost cushion-growing plant, that demands good supply of light and CO2 to develop.
The plant usually flowers very willingly after planting in the aquarium and the numerous flower stems give a unique appearance.
Flowering easily drains the energy of the plant, but given the right conditions, it will gather new energy and grow from basis after some time.

Eriocaulon Cinereum (Tropica 1-2-Grow!) in Singapore
Eriocaulon cinereum is a small, very narrow-leaved, cushion-forming plant that brings a distinctive star-burst rosette to detailed foregrounds. The genus is usually fussy about soft water, but cinereum is more tolerant than most and will even thrive in medium-hard water, with soft water further promoting overall health. This tissue-culture cup delivers clean plantlets ready to dot through the front of a high-energy scape.
To develop properly it demands a good supply of light and CO2, so treat it as a plant for an established, well-balanced tank rather than a beginner setup. Singapore’s soft, slightly acidic tap water actually suits the genus once dechlorinated, and our warm 27-29C range needs no chiller. Plant small individual rosettes spaced apart so each cushion has room to form, and keep flow gentle but present to deliver nutrients evenly.
