Propagating anubias coffefolia

Sure.  It's just like any other form of A. barteri

Normally, the rhizome will branch at the cut, and leaves will grow on that.

Yes, that will work.

>Will the new branch be as big as the old rizhome? 

In time.  It's not a fast growing plant, but a steady performer.

If you want to optimize production, the best bet is a humid terrarium with
the plants grown emersed.  They grow _MUCH_ faster that way than submersed.
