Anubias Coffeefolia

Anubias Barteri Coffeefolia is a striking variant of the Anubias Barteri species, distinguished by its unique ruffled leaves and long stems. This plant can grow up to 12 inches tall and is well-suited for both aquariums and terrariums, thriving in submerged or emersed conditions. With its textured leaves that can reach up to 3 inches in length, Anubias Coffeefolia makes an excellent choice for midground or background placement in your aquatic setup. Like other Anubias varieties, Coffeefolia is a flowering plant that does best when its rhizome is attached to a hard surface, such as wood or rocks. This plant has low to medium light requirements and benefits from regular fertilization, though CO2 injection is not necessary. However, CO2 can encourage faster growth and stronger leaves. Due to its slow growth rate, it's important to monitor lighting levels, as excessive light can lead to algae growth on the leaves. Propagation of Anubias Coffeefolia is simple—just cut or separate the rhizomes and replant them. It's crucial to keep the rhizome above the substrate to prevent rotting, which can cause the plant to die. This hardy plant is adaptable to various environments and can thrive even in less-than-ideal conditions. However, it's important to avoid drastic changes in the aquarium, as unstable parameters can cause the plant to melt and rot. For optimal growth, consider using CO2 injection and high-quality aquarium soil.

This plant is part of the Araceae family and originates from West Africa. It typically grows to a height of 4-6 inches and prefers a pH range of 6-7.5. With easy care requirements and a slow to moderate growth rate, Anubias Coffeefolia is a versatile and attractive addition to any aquarium or terrarium.
