Anubias ‘Varking’ is a striking, high-end Anubias variety valued for its large, thick, dark-green leaves and rugged texture. With slower growth and exceptional durability, it’s an ideal choice for aquascapers looking for a bold focal plant that thrives in low-light, low-maintenance setups. Its robust leaves also make it highly resistant to herbivorous fish.
