Key Features

• Appearance: Eriocaulon Quinquangulare showcases a mesmerizing color pattern with a maroon reddish base that transitions to lighter green shades towards the tips of the leaves. This distinctive variegation sets it apart from other aquatic plants, providing a dramatic visual appeal in any aquarium.
• Size: The plant remains relatively compact, growing to about 2.5 - 3 inches in height. Its small stature makes it ideal for foreground placement in aquariums.

Optimal Growing Conditions

• Lighting: This plant thrives under high light conditions. Adequate lighting is crucial to maintaining its vibrant colors and promoting healthy growth.

Care and Maintenance

Eriocaulon Quinquangulare is known to be a challenging plant to care for, often recommended for experienced hobbyists. The plant requires meticulous attention to its environmental conditions:

• Nutrient Management: Regular fertilization is necessary to provide both macro and micronutrients. Nitrate limitation can enhance the plant's red coloration but should be managed carefully to avoid stunting growth.
• Propagation: This species can be propagated by separating crowns from naturally divided mother plants. New plantlets often appear beside the main plant as it grows.

Unique Characteristics

• Versatility: In addition to its use in aquariums, Eriocaulon Quinquangulare is also suitable for paludariums and ripariums, thriving as an emergent plant.
• Resilience: While it requires high light and specific water conditions, once established, it can become a focal point in any aquascape due to its unique and attractive appearance.
