Anubias barteri var. nana 'Stardust'

Anubias barteri var. nana 'Stardust' is an unusual and highly prized variegated cultivar of the ubiquitous Anubias barteri var. nana. It displays irregular pale cream to white speckles, flecks and patches across otherwise dark green leaves, giving it a uniquely luminous, starlit appearance in the aquarium. Like other variegated Anubias, it grows very slowly — even by Anubias standards — and requires moderate to reasonable lighting to sustain the white pigmentation without reverting to pure green. It is best grown in a tank where it can be observed up close, since its beauty is most apparent at short range. A conversation piece for any serious planted tank.
