Anubias barteri var. Glabra "Dragon Claw"

Anubias barteri var. Glabra "Dragon Claw" is a highly sought-after variegated Anubias prized for its striking cream, white, and green marbled foliage. Each leaf develops unique patterns, making every plant a one-of-a-kind addition to any freshwater aquarium. Its elongated leaf shape and contrasting coloration create a beautiful focal point in both aquascapes and collector tanks.

Like other Anubias varieties, Dragon Claw is exceptionally hardy and thrives in a wide range of aquarium conditions. It grows slowly and should be attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape materials rather than buried in the substrate. Due to its slower growth and rare variegation, it is considered a premium collector plant among aquarium enthusiasts.
