General Information and Cultivation3: A slow growing plant in both emerse and submerse conditions, requiring greater care than most Anubias to look its best. Spectacular patterns of variegation reward the grower who maintains optimum conditions, making Anubias ‘Panda’ a showstopping centrepiece plant for aquarium, terrarium and paludarium. Provide submerse plants with good lighting and CO2 injection. Maintaining unblemished variegation in emerse plants requires more subdued light levels (not too high to burn variegated leaf tissue) and high humidity with daily misting. Attach to wood and rocks, or plant directly into the substrate. Do not bury the rhizome or it may rot. In emerse culture, leaf blades grow to about 90mm×60mm and plants can attain a height of 150mm. Submerse plants produce leaves that are smaller.
Ease of Care: Medium
Plant Size/Portion Size:
Emerse grown plant (S): 4 to 5-leaf, pot grown plant with good root development, 40mm-60mm in height.

Plants can alter their appearance due to seasonal influence, or in response to different environmental conditions or stage of maturity. This phenomenon is known as phenotypic plasticity, and it is especially evident in Aquatic/Semiaquatic plants. Whilst we endeavour to portray a plant accurately, the plant you receive may have been growing under different conditions or be at a different stage of maturity to the one in the image(s) provided.
