Anubias Coffeefolia

Anubias Coffeefolia – Live Aquarium Plant

Anubias Coffeefolia, also known as (Anubias Barteri var. Coffeefolia) or (Anubias Barteri Coffeefolia), is a hardy aquatic plant from the family Araceae. Native to the rivers and shaded streams of West Africa, this unique plant is admired for its dark green, wavy-textured leaves that bring depth and contrast to aquascapes. It can grow both emersed (partially above water) and fully submerged, making it suitable for a variety of aquarium setups and even paludariums. This slow-growing plant typically reaches a height of 6–12 inches, making it an excellent midground or foreground choice depending on the tank size. When planting, its rhizome should always remain above the substrate to avoid rotting, which is why it is often attached to driftwood, rocks, or other décor. Anubias Coffeefolia does not require heavy fertilization, but it benefits from regular nutrient supplementation in the water column. Liquid fertilizers can help maintain healthy leaf growth, while root tabs are unnecessary since this plant absorbs most of its nutrients through its leaves and rhizome.
