Plant Species

Native to the tropical regions of Africa and characterized by a dark green color and heavily ridged and robust leaves, Anubias coffeefolia is considered a slow grower, but is extremely hardy and undemanding. Juvenile plants usually have reddish brown leaves, but as the plant matures, the leaf color will change to a vibrant, dark green.

Anubias plants will take root on rough rocks or driftwood, which is the best way to encourage growth because the species grows much better when light hits its rhizome. Anubias coffeefolia will grow an extensive root system (rhizome) into your substrate, but burying the rhizome in the substrate should be avoided as it will drastically slow growth.
