Lobelia Small Form

Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, pale coloration, loss of purple undersides

Increase fertilizer dosing (macronutrients and micronutrients), ensure adequate lighting, and consider adding CO2 supplementation

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, and manually remove visible algae

Mushy base, foul odor from substrate, leaves wilting despite adequate water

Improve substrate drainage, reduce organic waste buildup, increase water circulation, and consider replanting in fresh substrate if severely affected

Leaves becoming translucent, tissue dissolving, plant appearing to disintegrate

Gradually acclimate plant to tank conditions over 2-3 weeks, ensure stable water parameters (pH 6.0-7.5), and maintain consistent temperature
