Overview:

Eriocaulon sp. ‘Vietnam’ is a compact and highly decorative Eriocaulon species valued for its fine, radial leaf structure and clean, architectural appearance. Its symmetrical rosette growth makes it a standout plant in modern and nature-style aquascapes.

Often used as a focal accent in the foreground or midground, this plant adds contrast through texture rather than colour, pairing beautifully with carpeting plants and bold hardscape layouts.

Care and Growth:

This species prefers medium to high lighting and benefits greatly from CO₂ injection and consistent fertilisation. Stable water parameters are important, as Eriocaulon species can be sensitive to sudden changes. A nutrient-rich substrate supports healthy root development.

Growth is relatively slow but steady once established. Propagation occurs naturally through side shoots that develop around the base of the plant and can be carefully separated over time.

Key Features:

• Compact rosette plant with fine, radial leaves
• Strong architectural shape ideal for focal placement
• Medium to high light and CO₂ recommended
• Best suited to stable, well-maintained aquariums
• Ideal for foreground or midground layouts
• Propagates slowly via side shoots
