Anubias sp. Kirin 'Large'
Anubias sp. Kirin 'Large' is a rare and highly sought-after Anubias variety prized for its bold textured foliage and larger growth form. Unlike many standard Anubias varieties, Kirin develops thick, heavily corrugated leaves with a distinctive appearance that makes it a standout collector plant.
The 'Large' form produces broader leaves and a more substantial rhizome than Anubias sp. Kirin 'Mini', making it an excellent focal point when attached to driftwood, lava stone, or other aquarium hardscape. Its slow growth, durability, and unique leaf texture make it a premium choice for Nature-style aquascapes, shrimp aquariums, and collector displays.
