Description

Anubias 'Stardust' is sold under a trade name that refers to the fine pale speckling that can appear across its leaves. It is an epiphyte and should be attached to driftwood or rock; burying the rhizome in substrate can rot it. Growth is very slow, so it is often used as an accent plant on hardscape in smaller tanks. It is undemanding in light: low light is sufficient and the plant does not need CO2 injection. The recommended temperature range is 20-30 C with pH 6-7.5. Like other Anubias it is tough and difficult to kill, though its slow pace means any damage takes a long time to regrow. No Flowgrow page documents 'Stardust', so this trade cultivar has no authoritative source profile. The values above are conservative genus-level defaults, and this entry is flagged for review until a source is confirmed.
