Anubias barteri ‘Striped’ – UNS

Anubias barteri ‘Striped’ is a unique variant of the classic Anubias barteri, prized for its bold, variegated leaves marked with striking light and dark green striping. Native to the shaded, fast-flowing waterways of West Africa, this hardy epiphyte naturally grows attached to rocks and driftwood, making it an ideal choice for aquarium hardscape. Its slow but steady growth and leathery foliage make it perfect for low-maintenance aquariums, and its resilience allows it to thrive in low light without the need for CO₂ or specialized water parameters. Versatile and visually distinctive, Anubias barteri ‘Striped’ works beautifully in both freshwater aquariums and paludariums, whether placed in the foreground, midground, or tucked into hardscape crevices. Simply attach it to wood or stone with glue or fishing line, keeping the rhizome exposed to prevent rot. Its tough leaves are rarely bothered by grazing fish, making it suitable even for cichlid or goldfish setups. With its unique striping and easy-care nature, this plant adds instant contrast and sophistication to any aquascape.
