Eriocaulon cinereum 'Polaris'

Eriocaulon cinereum 'Polaris' is a rare plant with a hedge-like growth appearance resembling other Eriocaulon species. Erio's prefer soft water and can be difficult to grow without using RO water.  The short growth of this plant makes it a suitable foreground plant for a high tech set up

Tissue culture plants are grown in-vitro (literally: in the glass) in a nutrient-rich synthetic growing medium, either liquid or gel, without the presence of any other lifeforms. This guarantees a pest and disease-free specimen, while also providing accuracy throughout the trade.

Tissue culture plants should be removed from the cup as soon as possible. All plants grow on some sort of synthetic growing medium, ranging anywhere from liquid to jelly to firm gel. This should be removed and rinsed off. Gently massage the roots between your fingers until the gel dissolves away. Most plants can be broken up into smaller pieces and spread out in your aquarium. Smaller pieces are easier to plant.
