Tropica Eriocaulon cinereum CUP

Eriocaulon cinereum is a very adaptable and easy-care rosette plant with an extremely characteristic appearance: thanks to the narrow, lance-like leaves, its shape is reminiscent of sea urchins from a certain size - optically an absolute highlight! It looks just as distinctive as a solitaire as it does in a group. If it has enough light and CO2, it develops delicate flower stalks up to 10cm in height, including button-like flowers. Not a must, but thanks for it: soft water. Since it grows rather slowly, it also fits into small tanks. Conclusion: A unique ornament for every foreground and middle ground backdrop!

• Light requirement: good to intense, no shade at all
• Optimal temperature: 20 to 30°C
• Water values: very soft to medium-hard
• pH value: very tolerant
• Addition of CO2 and nutrients: absolutely

Tip: With this Eriocaulon variety it can happen that plants die immediately after flowering. If you want to avoid this, it is better to cut back the flower stalks.

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
