Eriocaulon cinereum

Product description

About the species

The genus Eriocaulon is usually adapted to soft water. However, Eriocaulon cinereum is more tolerant than most and thrives in medium hard water. Soft water promotes general health. This is a rather small, very narrow-leaved and almost cushion-shaped plant that requires a good supply of light and CO2 to develop.

The plant usually blooms willingly after planting in the aquarium and the many flower stalks give a unique appearance. The flowering easily drains the energy from the plant, but with the right conditions it gathers new energy and grows from the base after a while.

FAQ about Eriocaulon cinereum

How do I plant Eriocaulon cinereum?

Carefully remove the pot and rock wool, rinse the roots and divide the plant if needed. Plant according to its growth habit; rhizomes remain above the substrate, while stem and rosette plants are planted with their roots in it.

Does Eriocaulon cinereum need CO₂?

Requirements vary by species. Added CO₂ and balanced plant nutrition often improve growth and colour, but match light, nutrition and CO₂ to the requirements in the product description.

Where in the aquarium should I place Eriocaulon cinereum?

Placement depends on mature height, growth habit and light requirement. Plan so it receives enough light without shading smaller plants.

What matters after planting?

Provide stable lighting and nutrition and avoid major changes while it establishes. Some older leaves may deteriorate as the plant adapts to new conditions.
