Staurogyne Repens White Albino Vitro Culture

Staurogyne Repens 'White Albino' in Vitro Culture® – Rare Albino Variant with Striking Pale Foliage

Staurogyne Repens 'White Albino' is an ultra-rare and visually stunning variant of the popular Staurogyne Repens, characterized by its translucent, pale white to ivory leaves. Due to the absence of chlorophyll, this albino form requires more attention and stable conditions to thrive, but rewards experienced aquascapers with a luminous, ghostly contrast in foreground layouts. It’s a collector’s dream and a true statement piece for nature-style aquariums.

Now available in our sterile Vitro Culture® 4-inch bag, this plant is produced using advanced Tissue Culture Technology to ensure it arrives 100% free from algae, snails, and pesticides—ideal for high-end aquascapes and sensitive livestock like shrimp.
