Plant Profile
Showcasing breathtaking, fully white-to-cream leaves, Anubias White Rose Tissue Culture is an extremely rare and coveted collector's cultivar. Lacking heavy chlorophyll across its ethereal foliage, it introduces an unmatched high-contrast focal point against dark hardscape and standard green flora. With very little information available on this brand-new cultivar, care is assumed to be similar to other Anubias species, especially other variegated forms, requiring steady parameters, gentle lighting, and patience as it adds its ethereal beauty to your aquascape.
Key Features & Benefits
- Stunning, fully white-to-cream foliage provides unparalleled visual contrast impossible to replicate with standard green plants.
- Compact, slow-growing epiphyte habit makes it an ultimate showstopper for nano aquariums and high-end collector scapes.
- The sterile laboratory environment guarantees your new plant arrives completely free of pests.
Care & Planting Instructions
- Remove the plantlets from the cup and rinse away the sterile nutrient gel under lukewarm, dechlorinated water. For instructions on planting tissue culture plants, click here.
- Attach to hardscape using aquarium‑safe glue or thread; keep the rhizome above substrate to prevent rot.
- Provide gentle, moderate lighting. Variegated and white leaves lack dense chlorophyll, so moderate light combined with stable nutrients will help support healthy growth without scorching the foliage or inviting spot algae
- Maintain stable conditions to support smooth acclimation and reduce leaf loss.
- CO₂ is recommended to assist with the tissue culture transition and support healthy growth.
- Master the prep and planting process by checking out a beginner's guide to tissue culture plants to prevent your delicate new plantlets from melting or floating away.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I plant Anubias White Rose Tissue Culture?
Attach the plant directly to driftwood or rocks using aquarium-safe super glue gel, thread, or fishing line. Keep the rhizome above the substrate to prevent rot.
2. Does it require CO2 or high lighting?
It requires moderate lighting to protect its delicate, white leaves from scorching while still providing enough energy for photosynthesis. CO₂ injection is recommended to help the tissue culture plantlets transition and acclimate successfully.
3. Is this plant safe for shrimp, snails, and fish?
Yes, Anubias is 100% safe for all freshwater fish, shrimp (including sensitive Caridina and Neocaridina), and snails. Its tough leaves are also resistant to plant-eating fish like cichlids or goldfish.
