Common Diseases
Nutrient Deficiency (Iron)
Yellowing of new leaves while veins remain green; stunted growth; pale coloration loss
Increase iron supplementation with liquid fertilizer containing chelated iron; dose 2-3x weekly until recovery
Algae Overgrowth
Green or brown algae coating leaves; reduced light penetration; plant appears smothered
Reduce lighting duration to 8-10 hours daily; increase water changes; add algae-eating fish or shrimp; manually remove affected leaves
Root Rot
Mushy, blackened roots; foul odor from substrate; plant wilting despite adequate nutrients
Remove plant and trim decayed roots with sterile scissors; replant in fresh substrate; improve water circulation and reduce organic buildup
Potassium Deficiency
Holes developing in older leaves; leaf edges turning brown; weak stem growth
Add potassium-rich fertilizer or all-in-one supplement; perform 25% water change weekly; ensure adequate macronutrient dosing
