🌿 Anubias Coffeefolia – Textured, Bronze-Leaf Anubias
Sold as Bare-Root or Potted Plants | Hardy & Unique Foliage
Anubias Coffeefolia is a captivating and resilient variety of Anubias, prized for its deep green to bronze-tinted leaves with a rippled, textured surface. Its distinct foliage resembles coffee leaves—hence the name Coffeefolia. The striking, structured leaves bring a bold contrast to other smooth-leaf plants in aquascapes.

Several noted plants were "bigger than expected," though a few found them smaller than anticipated. Two customers experienced plant rot or melting issues.

- Came all the way to East Coast in pristine condition

Plants look healthy and well packaged and arrived fast but anubias coffeola arrived way smaller than expected after reading other reviews for this plant with photos and watching youtube unboxing videos. They were $20 potted plants. The anubias jalapeno I also ordered I knew would be small but also are more rare. My coffeola plants in pots are 4 inches tall at the tallest. For perspective, Size comparison to a ten gallon tank And ruler has my thumb on the four inch mark.

This is like my 5th time ordering no issues ever. Really nice big Anubias for my new shrimp tank
A
I've never handled a coffeefolia before, and I was very impressed with how sturdy it is. The specimen sent to me is beautifully colored, no notches, no cuts, no blemishes. The roots were a little squirrely to put into my substrate, but that's probably because I'm a little clumsy. Please excuse my poor camera quality.
j
I received a sizable portion with a pleasing deep green color.
I
Each plant had 4-5 large leaves and strong roots.
T
The plant arrived moist and with a healthy sized root. Nice deep green color save for one lighter green leaf which may be newer growth? I was expecting a larger specimen for the price but I would say I am generally satisfied. It looks great in my tank and will hopefully fill out in the weeks to come.
J
The plant was delivered on the 5th day, but sadly a couple of the leaves had fallen off in package. Hopefully the plant will recover.
S
I've placed several orders and all have arrived so nicely packed, safe and sound on arrival! The plants themselves are absolutely stunning! Never any die off and they are so healthy~ I love th quick shipping and the special deals! Thank you once again!

Aquarium Plants Factory comes through again. I have 5 plants from them now and they all have arrived in pristine condition. This time I ordered the anubias coffeefolia and the anubias golden. Love them both.
H
They are very healthy, and very beautiful! I cannot wait until I get the other two so I can place them in my tank. The fish love it, it’s a great hiding spot for my electric blue ram.
M
I got the buy 2 get 1 free deal and I'm so glad I did. These plants are so healthy I actually was wondering if I ordered fake ones. They look great in my tank .
L
I received 3 of these plants as part of a Buy2Get1Free deal and one of them arrived completely melted (rhizome and stems just broke apart when I unpackaged them). The other two are beautiful and the picture of health, so I’m not very worried about it, since it was “free” anyway. They are currently planted in my betta’s tank and she loves resting on the leaves. They’re very unique and despite the melted plant, all 16 other if the plants I ordered were in beautiful condition and I’m very pleased with Aquarium Plants Factory yet again!
N
Plant arrived well packaged, and unharmed beautiful, full, and healthy looking! can't ask for any better. Will order from here again very soon.
H
Beautiful plants and we'll established. There are two plants tucked in the driftwood in my picture.
W
The plants arrived in good shape and have continues to grow well
S
One was fairly small. Both look very green and hearty. Received with multiple other plants everything grew in nicely. For some reason both the coffeefolia just rotted from the base. (I didnt burry them in substrate.
C
Bigger than i expect, nice long roots and very green. Shipping time was fast from Californian to Wisconsin, came 2 days sooner than the estimated delivery date.
M
I recently ordered 2 Anubias coffeefolia and received the 3rd free. I have ordered from here multiple times and the plants always arrive in perfect shape. They are well packaged and delivered quickly! Very happy with my purchases :)
J
Great condition when they arrived. Currently thriving. I'd feel very comfortable ordering here again.
M
New to buying plants, I was happy with the packing and condition of plants received. Look forward to purchasing more.
m
Plants arrived early, packing was excellent and plants were healthy.
K
all plants i got were absolutely perfect, bigger than expected and healthy
B
I purchased this in my second order with the company. All three types of plants (Anubias and two buce) were fabulous specimens! They arrived well packaged, generous portions, and were in excellent condition. These were hands down the BEST plants I’ve ever purchased, both online and in person! They didn’t pay me for this review, and I’ll definitely be a returning customer!
D
My order came quickly, even with Labor Day delays. All my plants were well hydrated and packaged well. They were all a rich green color and healthy, and all were pest free! I will definitely order again.
D
The piece I received is gorgeous, healthy rhizome and roots. I can tell this was a happy plant by the looks of it. Aside from a tear on one of the leaves which I suspect shipment as the culprit, I am very impressed and satisfied with it.
I have stuck with APF with plant orders due to the quality of the plants and shipping, the quality hasn't declined in the past year.
