Anubias Barteri 'Caladiifolia' – Heart-Shaped Leaf Aquarium Plant, Hardy and Long-Lived
Anubias Barteri var. Caladiifolia is a beautiful, slow-growing variety originating from tissue culture labs in Australia. It features large, heart-shaped dark green leaves that can last for several years, making it an ideal choice for aquarists seeking longevity and visual impact.
Despite its slow growth, the plant can form impressive clumps over time, sometimes exceeding 50 cm in width. Best suited for the midground or background of the aquarium, it thrives when attached to wood or rocks rather than being buried in the substrate, as burying the rhizome can cause it to rot.
Highly tolerant of low to medium light and requiring no CO₂, this Anubias is also fish-safe—its tough leaves are unappealing to herbivorous species. It's an excellent choice for low-maintenance setups or aquascapes with demanding fish.
