Anubias barteri var nana 'Stardust'

Introduction:

Anubias barteri var nana 'Stardust' is a rare and stunning variety of Anubias known for its large, broad leaves speckled with unique variegation. This striking plant features a mix of dark and light green hues, sometimes with speckled or marbled patterns, adding an eye-catching element to any aquascape. Like other Anubias species, it is slow-growing, hardy, and highly adaptable, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists looking for a statement plant.

Care Requirements:

• Water Parameters: Thrives in temperatures between 22–28°C, with a preferred pH range of 6.0–7.5 and soft to moderately hard water (dH up to 12).
• Nutrient Requirements: Benefits from liquid fertilizers with iron and micronutrients to maintain vibrant variegation. CO₂ supplementation is optional but can promote healthier growth.
• Tank Setup: Best attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape elements rather than buried in the substrate to prevent rhizome rot. Prefers low to moderate lighting to avoid excessive algae growth on its large leaves.

Care Tips:

To maintain its variegation, provide stable water conditions and avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage more solid green leaves. Regularly clean the broad leaves to prevent algae buildup and allow proper light absorption. Due to its larger size, ensure it has enough space in the aquarium to spread out naturally.

Anubias barteri var nana 'Stardust' is an exceptional choice for aquascapers seeking a bold, unique plant with stunning variegation. Its hardy nature and adaptability make it a low-maintenance yet visually impactful addition to planted tanks.
