Anubias Coffefolia
Anubias barteri ‘Coffeefolia’
Anubias barteri ‘Coffeefolia’ is a distinctive Anubias variety known for its textured, ridged leaves that resemble the surface of coffee plant leaves. The foliage often shows deep green tones with slightly wavy edges, while new leaves may emerge with a bronze or reddish tint before maturing.
This plant grows from a thick rhizome and is very hardy, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. It thrives when attached to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscape, where it slowly develops into a lush cluster of leaves that add structure and character to aquascapes.
Care Tips
Lighting: Low to Medium
CO₂: Not required
Placement: Midground (attached to hardscape)
Growth Rate: Slow
Propagation: Divide the rhizome to grow new plants
Aquascaping Notes
Anubias ‘Coffeefolia’ is commonly used in nature-style aquascapes, low-tech tanks, and shrimp aquariums. Its unique leaf texture provides beautiful contrast when paired with mosses, Bucephalandra, and driftwood.
⚠️ Important: Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate. Attach the plant to rocks or driftwood using thread or aquascaping glue to prevent rhizome rot.
Please note that leaf size, texture, and number of leaves may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
