Tonina Fluviatilis

Tonina fluviatilis

Family: Eriocaulaceae

Ask Finn

An exotic stem plant from the Amazon that produces tight spirals of fine, needle-like leaves arranged around the stem. It is challenging to keep, demanding very soft, acidic water and strong CO2 supplementation — conditions that mimic its blackwater origins. A showpiece plant in specialist Amazonian biotope and high-tech scapes.
