Want texture from an Anubias? Coffeefolia grows deeply rippled, corrugated leaves that look closer to a coffee plant than a typical smooth Anubias — and new leaves emerge bronze-copper before hardening to deep green, so an actively growing plant shows both colours at once.

What You’ll Receive

• Bare-Root Plants: One Anubias Coffeefolia plant with 4 or more healthy leaves, loose and unpotted
• Potted Plants: One Anubias Coffeefolia plant with 4 or more healthy leaves, rooted in rockwool and net pot

Plant Profile

• Common name — Coffeefolia Anubias
• Scientific name — Anubias barteri 'Coffeefolia'
• Placement — Midground, on wood or stone
• Mature height — 6–10 in
• Growth rate — Slow

Care

• Difficulty — Beginner. As tough as any Anubias
• Light — Low to medium. Shade suits it; bright light means algae on slow leaves
• CO₂ — Not required
• Water — 72–82°F · pH 6.0–7.5
• Substrate — Not required. Attaches to hardscape
• Growth habit — Amphibious. Also grows emersed
• Propagation — Rhizome division

Grower’s Notes

• The bronze is new growth, not stress. Fresh leaves come in coppery-bronze and darken to green over several weeks. A plant showing bronze at the growing tip is a healthy plant, not a deficient one.
• Never bury the rhizome. Roots can go into substrate; the rhizome cannot. Buried, it rots — the most common way an Anubias is lost.
• The rippled surface traps detritus more than a smooth leaf does. A gentle wave of the hand during water changes keeps it clean.
• Keep it shaded. Slow growth means algae settles faster than the plant replaces the leaf, and textured leaves are harder to wipe.
• Divide with a clean blade, keeping at least three leaves per section.

Notes

• Avoid burying the rhizome in substrate to prevent rot. Attach to hardscape for best results. Minor cosmetic leaf blemishes are normal and will improve with new growth in your tank.

What We Guarantee

24-Hour Live Arrival Guarantee — We guarantee that live plants and live aquatic animals will arrive alive. In the rare case of a Dead on Arrival (DOA), you must notify us within 24 hours of the delivery time recorded on the carrier's official tracking page. The guarantee is void after that 24-hour window, as condition can no longer be attributed to transit.

How to Submit a Claim

1. Take at least 2 clear, well-lit photos of the affected items in their original, unopened, sealed packaging, plus a photo of the shipping label on the box.
2. Email your photos and order number to hello@aquariumplantsfactory.com within 24 hours of delivery.
3. Do not photograph plants or animals after they have been unpacked, planted, or introduced to your aquarium — once an item enters your aquarium's ecosystem, it is no longer covered.

Approved claims are resolved with a replacement, store credit, or refund at our discretion, under the terms of our Refund Policy. Each item is eligible for one replacement only — replacements are final and we cannot replace a replacement.

Conditions That Void the Guarantee

• Incorrect or incomplete shipping address (vacant address, missing apartment number, or any issue that prevents delivery)
• Packages marked "invalid address," "undeliverable," refused, or returned to sender
• Packages left unclaimed, held at a carrier facility at the customer's request, or not retrieved promptly after delivery — live goods must be brought indoors and unpacked the day they arrive
• Carrier delays, weather events, or delivery exceptions once the package has left our facility
• Shipments to freight forwarders or package-forwarding services

Providing accurate, complete shipping information and monitoring your tracking are essential to keeping your guarantee valid.

Please note: the Live Arrival Guarantee covers arrival only. We cannot guarantee ongoing success — aquarium environment, water quality, nutrients, temperature, lighting, filtration, and CO2 all affect long-term results.

What We Can't Guarantee

1. Pest-free plants (potted & bare-root): Although our plants are grown in our own clean greenhouse, we cannot guarantee they are 100% free of snails, algae, or other hitchhikers. We recommend rinsing and quarantining all plants before adding them to your aquarium. Tissue culture (in vitro) plants are the exception — they are grown in sterile lab conditions, are 100% free of pests, algae, and disease, and have never been in contact with any aquarium.
2. Pesticide-free plants: We use homemade, organic pest control in our greenhouse and never use copper-based pesticides, which are toxic to invertebrates such as snails, crabs, and shrimp. However, we cannot guarantee plants are entirely pesticide-free — always rinse and quarantine before use in invertebrate tanks.
3. Your aquarium's success: We are not responsible for your aquarium inhabitants, including fish, shrimp, snails, and turtles. Please quarantine all plants before use.
4. Growth form: Unless specified, we do not guarantee plants will grow emersed or submersed in your particular setup.

Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.
