• pH: 5.5–6.8 (soft, acidic water preferred)
• Growth Rate: Slow
• Placement: Foreground to Midground

Eriocaulon thrives in soft, slightly acidic water with consistent CO₂ and high-intensity lighting. Plant in fine, nutrient-rich substrate and dose regularly with iron and micronutrients. Avoid hard or alkaline water, which will inhibit growth. Its slow growth rate makes it a long-lasting, low-maintenance specimen once established in the right conditions.
