Eriocaulon Vietnam

Eriocaulon Vietnam is a rare and highly sought-after aquarium plant prized for its striking starburst rosette and bright green, needle-like leaves. Native to Southeast Asia, this premium aquatic plant makes a dramatic centerpiece in any aquascape and is especially popular in Iwagumi and high-end planted layouts. Its compact, symmetrical growth adds strong contrast to traditional stem plants, creating a truly eye-catching focal point.

This plant thrives in nutrient-rich substrate and benefits from root tabs, fertilizers, and CO₂ injection to maintain its vivid color and compact form. While it can adapt to a range of conditions, medium to high lighting and stable water parameters will bring out its best growth.
