Anubias Marble Tissue Culture (Aquascaping Essentials)

Looking for a hardy epiphyte that still looks boutique? Anubias ‘Marble’ brings natural marbling to shaded corners and nano scapes without the diva demands. Each cup is produced via tissue culture, so you start clean. No snails, algae, or hitch-hikers. Just rinse off the gel before planting. 

Like other variegated Anubias (e.g., ‘Pinto’), the pale sectors contain less chlorophyll, so growth is slower and steady great for layouts you don’t want overrun. Keep lighting modest to moderate to limit algae on leaves; brighter light will emphasise variegation but monitor for algae. 

Planting is blissfully simple: don’t bury the rhizome too deep. Planting in Aquasoil will help substantially but is not mandatory. Instead, attach small portions to driftwood or rock with glue or thread and let the roots grip over time.  This is standard Anubias care and prevents rhizome rot. 

‘Marble’ is a recognised trade form sold in the hobby with mottled green-white leaves—ideal for contrast beside darker hardscape or mosses.
