Anubias barteri “Coffeefolia”

Family
Araceae

Lighting Requirements
These plants have low lighting requirements but can tolerate all levels. They are often planted in the shade of taller plants.

Propagation
These are a rhizome plant, when first adding to the tank ensure that the rhizome is not completely buried in the substrate or it will rot. To propagate the plant, simply divide the rhizome into pieces and each section will form a new plant. They do well attached to rocks or wood as well as growing on the substrate.

Difficulty
This plant is very easy to care for in the aquarium. They can tolerate a wide range of water parameters and should never need cutting back.
