Anubias barteri 'Giant Stardust' – Rare Speckled Anubias with Compact Broad Leaves

Anubias Giant Stardust is a rare and visually captivating cultivar of Anubias barteri, cherished for its distinctive speckled foliage and compact growth habit.

Each leaf is deep green and dusted with irregular white speckles, giving it a starry, galaxy-like appearance that stands out in any aquascape. Like most Anubias varieties, it grows slowly, thrives in low-tech tanks, and prefers attachment to hardscape rather than being buried in substrate.
