Eriocaulon Cinereum

$30.00

✅These are already in their 💯% aquatic forms - will NOT melt when added to your tank

Eriocaulon Cinereum, also known as the Erio Cinereum or Eriocaulon 'Polaris', is a rare and delicate pipewort plant prized by aquascapers for its unique, almost hedgehog-like appearance. This miniature, slow-growing plant features very narrow, almost thread-like leaves that form a soft cushion.

Despite its delicate looks, it's surprisingly adaptable to medium-hard water conditions, although softer water promotes even better health. However, it does require intense lighting and CO2 injection to thrive, making it ideal for experienced hobbyists with well-established, high-tech planted tanks.

When properly cared for, it produces numerous delicate flower stems, adding an extra touch of whimsy to the underwater world.

Ease level: moderate or experienced

Size: 1-3 inches in height

Likes: high lighting

Does not require CO2 injection, but it will thrive better with CO2

Placement: foreground

PH: 4.5-7.0

Quantity: one plant
