Anubias Barteri Gigantea Aquatic Farmer Tissue Culture

Plant Profile

Common Name: Anubias Barteri 

Anubias Barteri Gigantea is here to remind your tank that size absolutely matters (in this case, at least). Aptly named for its massive profile, this majestic epiphyte produces broad, deep-green, arrow-shaped leaves resting atop tall, sturdy stalks. Individual leaf blades can grow up to 3 inches long, making it an instant centerpiece anchor capable of commanding attention in large aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums alike.

Key Features & Benefits

• The largest of all Anubias varieties, delivering impressive height and arrow-shaped structural foliage for large tanks and centerpiece layouts.
• Famous for its tough, leathery foliage that effortlessly stands up against large or herbivorous fish, keeping your main focal point intact.
• The sterile laboratory environment guarantees your new plant arrives completely free of pests.

Care Tips & Preparation

• Carefully remove the plantlets from the cup and rinse away the sterile nutrient gel under lukewarm, dechlorinated water before mounting. For instructions on how to properly plant tissue culture aquarium plants, click here.
• Secure the plant directly to your chosen hardscape elements using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Avoid burying the horizontal stem in gravel or soil because restricting water flow around the rhizome will cause the plant to melt, rot, and die.
• Maintain stable water parameters and avoid sudden environmental shifts to ensure your new greenery acclimates smoothly without shedding leaves.
• Position the plant away from intense, direct light and ensure healthy water flow to prevent slow-growing leaves from collecting unwanted spot algae.
• Provide low to moderate lighting and optional carbon dioxide injection to achieve faster growth and more robust leaves, though it will happily thrive without high-tech setups.
