Coffeefolia earns its name from its deeply corrugated, heavily textured leaves that ripple and arch between the veins in a way that closely resembles the leaves of a coffee plant. Rich, deep green with a characteristic downward arching form, the leaves often emerge with an attractive reddish-brown hue that matures to deep green over time. Under aquarium lighting the corrugated surface catches and reflects light beautifully, giving each leaf a three-dimensional depth and visual complexity that flat-leaved plants cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSharing the same indestructible, low-maintenance nature as all Anubias, Coffeefolia is an excellent choice for aquarists of all experience levels who want genuine visual character and texture in their aquascape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific name: Anubias barteri var.

Its tough, leathery leaves are resistant to plant-eating fish, it thrives in low light without CO2 injection, and its long-lived leaves mean it builds into an impressive, spreading specimen over time with virtually no maintenance beyond occasional removal of old or damaged leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIts broad, arching leaves also provide excellent cover and shade for fish and shrimp that appreciate sheltered resting spots — a practical benefit as well as a visual one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant — Do Not Bury the Rhizome\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAlways attach or position Anubias barteri var. Coffeefolia so that the rhizome — the thick horizontal stem from which the leaves and roots emerge — remains fully exposed above the substrate at all times. Burying the rhizome even partially will cause it to rot and kill the plant. Attach to driftwood, rocks, or hardscape using fishing line, thread, or aquarium-safe glue for the most natural and secure placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll community fish, shrimp, and snails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn excellent choice for tanks with plant-eating or destructive fish — its tough leaves are left alone by virtually all herbivorous species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticularly striking as a midground specimen plant where its corrugated texture and arching leaf form can be fully appreciated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful alongside smooth-leaved plants such as Cryptocoryne and Echinodorus where the textural contrast is most pronounced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49015481008350,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo_c76bf674-ca83-49a4-aa92-26174c534b16.png?v=1741201181","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/anubias-barteri-var-coffeefolia","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
