ERIOCAULON CINEREUM – Rare Foreground Plant for High-Tech Aquariums with Strong CO₂ and Lighting Needs
Eriocaulon cinereum is a highly decorative and rare foreground plant, ideal for aquascaping enthusiasts who seek a refined, structured layout. Native to Asia, this compact plant features needle-like, slow-growing leaves arranged in a rosette form, resembling a green hedgehog.
