Common Diseases
Algae Overgrowth
Excessive green, brown, or black algae coating leaves; reduced light penetration to plant surface
Reduce lighting duration to 6-8 hours daily, increase water changes, add algae-eating shrimp or fish, manually remove algae with soft brush
Nutrient Deficiency
Yellowing or pale leaves, stunted growth, loss of silvery spots, leaf necrosis
Dose liquid all-in-one fertilizer (e.g., Thrive, Flourish) 2-3 times weekly; consider adding macronutrient supplements if using soft water
Rhizome Rot
Blackening or mushy rhizome, leaf yellowing, plant detachment from hardscape
Ensure rhizome is not buried in substrate; improve water circulation; remove affected portions with sterile tools; increase water changes
Melting
Rapid leaf dissolution, transparent or translucent foliage, plant collapse
Acclimate slowly to new tank conditions over 2-3 weeks; maintain stable parameters (pH 6.0-7.5, temp 23-28°C); ensure adequate CO2 and nutrients
