Eriocaulon sp. Vietnam is a rare collector's variety of Eriocaulon, producing a tight, star-shaped rosette of thin, soft-green leaves with a fine-textured, grass-like appearance. It is highly sought after in the aquascaping community for the delicate detail and refined texture it brings to foreground planting in high-tech set-ups.
Like all Eriocaulon species, it is a demanding plant that requires bright light and CO2 injection to thrive. Soft, slightly acidic water with stable parameters gives the best results, and it is sensitive to both nutrient deficiency and excess. It is a plant for experienced hobbyists with well-maintained high-tech aquariums.
Supplied as an established potted plant, Eriocaulon sp. Vietnam suits aquariums from 50 litres upward equipped with CO2 and bright lighting. Its compact size and unusual texture make it a striking foreground or midground specimen in nature aquarium and competition-style planted layouts.

The plants are healthy, strong and thriving.
No. It is a demanding species requiring bright light, CO2 injection, and soft acidic water. It is not suited to low-tech or beginner aquariums.
Yes. CO2 injection is essential. Without it, this plant will not thrive and will slowly deteriorate.
Soft, slightly acidic water with low KH and pH around 5.5–6.5 is ideal. It is sensitive to hard or alkaline water.
Both are similar in care demands and overall form. The Vietnam variety may show slight differences in leaf texture and rosette structure, and both are prized for their fine, detailed appearance.
Use it in the foreground or midground of a high-tech layout where its compact, detailed rosette can be appreciated. It should not be shaded by larger plants.
