Description

Eriocaulon cinereum has a wide distribution in the warm areas of Asia, Africa and Australia where it occurs in wet, temporarily flooded places. This quite small Eriocaulon develops a compact, hedgehog-like rosette with narrow, rigid leaves. Under water it has a silvery green hue. Not rarely it develops its hat pin-like inflorescences. The plant that we have sold as Eriocaulon sp. has turned out as identical with Eriocaulon cinereum.

We recommend strong lighting, rather soft water, a type of Aquasoil as substrate and good CO₂ supply (about 20-30 mg/L).

With its special, exotic appearance, Eriocaulon cinereum works best as an accent plant in the foreground to midground, in an open place.
