🌿 Eriocaulon quinquangulare

Description:
Eriocaulon quinquangulare is a striking rosette plant known for its narrow, grass-like leaves radiating symmetrically from the center, forming a starburst appearance. Its structured, spiky look makes it an excellent focal point in high-end aquascapes. Due to its specific water and nutrient requirements, it is best suited for experienced aquarists maintaining stable, high-tech aquariums.

🌱 Tissue Culture / Planting Guide

• Remove the plant carefully from the cup.

• Rinse off the nutrient gel completely.

• Separate gently if multiple plantlets are present.

• Plant into a nutrient-rich aquarium substrate.

• Do not bury the crown (center growing point).

• Leave adequate spacing for full rosette expansion.
