Named for its striking resemblance to coffee plant foliage, its new leaves emerge in an attractive bronze-to-reddish-brown color before maturing into a deep, glossy green. The defining characteristic of this variety is its heavily corrugated, strongly arched leaf ribs, which create exceptional textural depth in any aquascape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShort Description \u0026amp; Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnubias barteri\u003c\/i\u003e var. \u003ci\u003ecoffeifolia\u003c\/i\u003e is a slow-growing, highly resilient epiphyte well-suited for beginner aquarists.

Proper Planting Technique (The Rhizome Rule)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most critical rule for keeping \u003ci\u003eAnubias\u003c\/i\u003e is ensuring that the \u003cb\u003erhizome\u003c\/b\u003e (the thick, horizontal stem from which the roots and leaves sprout) is \u003cb\u003enever buried\u003c\/b\u003e in substrate. Burying the rhizome will cause the plant to suffocate and rot. Instead, anchor the plant to pieces of driftwood or aquarium rocks using fishing line, cotton thread, or aquarium-safe cyanoacrylate gel superglue. Over time, its natural roots will grip the hardscape securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2. Lighting and Algae Prevention\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause \u003ci\u003eAnubias\u003c\/i\u003e species are slow growers, their long-lasting leaves can accumulate algae if exposed to excessive lighting or direct sunlight. Provide subdued or low-to-medium lighting for 6 to 8 hours daily. Positioning the plant in naturally shaded areas underneath taller stems or near aquarium overhangs helps maintain pristine, clean foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3. Maintenance and Tank Mates\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoutine maintenance is minimal. Aside from occasional water changes, you only need to trim away older, damaged leaves close to the rhizome to encourage fresh, vibrant shoots. Its tough, bitter foliage makes it completely safe for tanks housing snails, dwarf shrimp, and herbivorous cichlids that typically destroy softer plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57050287997268,"sku":"ST010100","price":9.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/5828\/7444\/files\/Anubiasbarterivar.coffeifolia.webp?v=1788866809","url":"https:\/\/www.tropicalmarineaquatic.com\/products\/anubias-barteri-var-coffeifolia","provider":"Tropical Marine Aquatic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
