Eriocaulon Quinquangulare is a relatively new aquatic plant species introduced to the aquarium hobby and can be quite difficult to keep. Its color pattern makes it highly coveted, sporting a maroon reddish base that lightens to green shades further up each individual leaf. Notorious for being more difficult to keep, Eriocaulon Quinquangulare is no exception and is recommended to be kept by experienced hobbyists only.
Eriocaulon Quinquangulare requires high lighting, nutrient-dense aquarium soil and CO2 injection to thrive. Its growth pattern looks like dense little tufts that resemble grass, making it a perfect midground aquatic plant choice or at the foot of stones such as Ryuoh or Seiryu in an Iwagumi style aquascape layout. Fairly sensitive to shipment, Eriocaulon Quinquangulare is often grown in its emersed form as it tends to be hardier in this form. If successful in keeping Eriocaulon Quinquangulare, propagation can be done simply by splitting the plant gently from the adult plant and rewards will be worth the risk.

"This is a beautiful plant and I was so excited to find such a rare plant at a great price! Plant fully survived travel time, lost a few leaves but has bounced back with noticeable root growth as it is settling into it's new home. Plant was large enough to be split prior to planting. Thank you for offering this plant for purchase!"
"These plants came in damaged. Blades were bent, and broken on most of the two plants I had gotten. That being said, they were very large. Unfortunately I'm now seeing massive melt due to the damage to the plants."
"They were in emerse form during the shipment so it was easier for them not to melt when it arrived."
"Ericaulon Quinquangular can be very hard to ship but these arrived in great condition. The plants were very healthy. The packaging was done well as always which aided in a safe delivery"
