Eriocaulon parkeri

Eriocaulon parkeri is a unique rosette plant known for its fine, grass-like leaves and elegant, fountain-shaped growth. Its slender green foliage grows in a soft radial pattern, creating movement and texture that works beautifully in both nature-style and minimalist aquascapes.

Compared to other Eriocaulon varieties, parkeri is slightly more forgiving, making it a great option for hobbyists wanting the distinctive “spiky rosette” look without the highest level of difficulty. It performs best under medium to high lighting with a nutrient-rich substrate and benefits strongly from CO₂ supplementation. Stable, slightly acidic to neutral water conditions will encourage compact, healthy growth.

Perfect for midground placement or as a subtle feature plant, Eriocaulon parkeri adds fine detail and a refined, botanical feel to any planted aquarium layout.
