No two are the same. Anubias barteri 'Panda Marble' — introduced by Aquarium Plants Factory® in 2024 — carries unpredictable marbling of white, cream and green across thick coin-shaped leaves. The pattern varies leaf to leaf and plant to plant, which is the appeal and also the reason this is an advanced plant rather than a typical easy Anubias.

What You’ll Receive

Enhance your aquarium with our fresh, high-quality plants, available in convenient formats:

• Loose Bare-Root Plants: Includes approximately 6 or more leaves of bare-root plants for flexible placement.
• Rooted Potted Plants: Includes approximately 6 or more leaves, rooted in a net pot with rock wool for easy installation.

Plant Profile

• Common name — Panda Marble Anubias
• Scientific name — Anubias barteri 'Panda Marble'
• Introduced — Aquarium Plants Factory®, 2024
• Placement — Midground, attached to wood, stone or décor
• Mature height — 3–5 in
• Growth rate — Very slow

Care

• Difficulty — Advanced. Variegated leaves carry far less chlorophyll and are much less forgiving than green Anubias
• Light — Low to medium. Steady, moderate light — not intense
• CO₂ — Not required, though it helps a plant this slow
• Water — 72–82°F · pH 6.0–7.5. Stability matters more than any specific value
• Substrate — Not required. Attaches to hardscape
• Growth habit — Amphibious. Also grows emersed
• Propagation — Rhizome division

Grower’s Notes

• White tissue does no photosynthesis. A heavily marbled plant runs on a fraction of the energy a green Anubias makes, so it grows slower, recovers slower, and has far less margin for a bad week. This is why it is Advanced despite being an Anubias.
• It can revert. Under poor conditions the plant may start pushing plain green leaves to compensate for lost pigment. Once it reverts, the marbling does not usually come back on those leaves.
• Never bury the rhizome. Glue or tie it to wood or stone; buried rhizomes rot.
• Keep light moderate and consistent. White leaf tissue burns and attracts algae faster than green tissue does.
• Every plant is genuinely unique — the plant you receive will not match the photograph, by nature of the cultivar.

It is crucial to provide accurate and complete shipping information to ensure the successful delivery of your order and the applicability of the Live Arrival Guarantee.

Please keep in mind that Live Arrival Guarantee only guarantees that live stocks will be alive upon arrival. We cannot guarantee that you will continue to have success with them. Many factors, including the aquarium environment, water quality, nutrient, temperature, lighting, filter, and CO2 system, can contribute to the failure to grow live plants and live animals.

WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
4. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.

Your cooperation in protecting the environment is appreciated. For continuously updated information, refer to the USDA State Noxious Weed list here.
