Anubias barteri caladiifolia
Anubias barteri ‘Caladiifolia’ is a striking and robust variety of Anubias known for its large, heart-shaped (caladium-like) leaves and extremely hardy nature. With a lush green appearance and bold leaf structure, this plant makes a stunning visual impact in medium to large aquariums.
Its slow growth, low light requirements, and ability to thrive in a wide range of water conditions make it perfect for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike. Like other Anubias, it should be attached to hardscape (rock, wood) to avoid rhizome rot. It’s also highly resistant to herbivorous fish and ideal for low-tech tanks.
A fantastic option for adding texture and bold greenery to midground or background sections of your aquascape.
