Eriocaulon sp. "Vietnam" Tropica

Eriocaulon sp. "Vietnam" is still quite new in the hobby, however it has already proved to be an easy aquarium plant - in contrast to a number of other Eriocaulon rarities. This plant, not yet fully determined by species, was originally found in the Vietnamese province Thanh Hoa. It is a medium-sized, about 15-30 cm tall Eriocaulon with relatively broad, medium-green, arching leave.

Eriocaulon sp. "Vietnam" can be used in aquascaping similarly to Blyxa japonica - e.g. as a meadow-like stand in the midground, linking the background with low ground covers in the foreground, or as scattered tufts between hardscape elements. In contrast to similar rosette plants such as Sagittaria subulata or Helanthium bolivianum, it does not develop runners, making its handling easy. This undemanding Eriocaulon surely deserves a wide distribution in the aquarium hobby.
