Anubias Jungle Star

Anubias Jungle Star is a compact rhizome plant cultivar with broad, deep green leaves that the chart describes as thriving when attached to wood or rock. Growing to 4 to 8 inches, it occupies the midground zone with a lush, full presence that suits both naturalistic and structured aquascape designs. The Jungle Star name suggests the confidence of a plant that can anchor a section of the aquascape with reliable botanical authority.

Planting tip: Never bury the rhizome in substrate — Anubias Jungle Star should always be attached to driftwood, rock, or other hardscape with the rhizome fully exposed. Use cotton thread or aquarium-safe adhesive to secure it, and the plant will anchor itself naturally over time.

The care requirements for Anubias Jungle Star are identical to those of other Anubias cultivars. Low to moderate lighting suits this plant well, CO₂ supplementation is optional, and the plant adapts to temperatures between 72 and 82°F with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Regular liquid fertilization supports the development of healthy new leaves and the deep green coloration that defines this cultivar. Consistent, stable conditions bring out the best in Jungle Star.

As with all Anubias, the rhizome must be kept exposed and attached to hardscape. Anubias Jungle Star is best displayed on prominent pieces of driftwood or featured rock where its broad, deep green leaves can create a lush midground presence. Thread or aquarium adhesive both work well for initial attachment.

In the aquascape, Anubias Jungle Star functions as a dependable midground plant whose deep green foliage anchors the layout and creates shelter for fish and shrimp. It pairs naturally with other Anubias varieties in collection displays, and contrasts naturally with fine-textured mosses, Cryptocoryne, and background stem plants. A trusted, versatile cultivar for any planted aquarium.
