Description
Probably the trading name "Heimesilatama" was originally spelled "Hime-Shiratama". This not yet determined Eriocaulon of unknown origin is comparable to Eriocaulon cinereum, it forms dense, round, hedgehog-like, relatively low rosettes of rigid leaves.
Strong lighting, rather soft water, a type of Aquasoil as substrate and good CO2 supply (about 20-30 mg/L) are recommended.
With its special appearance, Eriocaulon sp. Heimesilatama" looks best as an accent plant in the foreground to midground, in an open place.
