Eriocaulon cinereum, one of among 400 species of Eriocaulon, is native to the rice paddies of southeast Asia where it grows emersed on very wet soils. It has been found to be a good aquarium plant in recent years.
This small pipewort requires a fertile substrate to thrive, as it draws most of its nutrients from its extensive root system. In fact, the root system of this species can be up to three times longer than the leaves. The rest of its requirements are typical for most moderately difficult plants: lighting should be intense,CO2 is a necessity, and a typical water column fertilization regimen (including nitrate, phosphate, potassium, and micronutrients) should be in place. When CO2 levels are good, the center of E. cinereum will develop a golden hue.
