Common Diseases
Nutrient Deficiency
Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, pale coloration, loss of red pigmentation
Increase fertilizer dosing, ensure adequate macronutrients (NPK) and micronutrients (iron, trace elements), consider adding CO2
Algae Overgrowth
Green or brown algae coating leaves, reduced light penetration, leaf deterioration
Reduce lighting duration to 8-10 hours daily, increase water changes, add algae-eating fish or shrimp, improve water circulation
Leaf Rot
Blackening or melting of leaves, soft tissue breakdown, foul odor
Remove affected leaves immediately, improve water circulation, reduce organic waste buildup, ensure adequate lighting and nutrients
Slow Growth
Minimal new leaf development, stunted bulb expansion, general lethargy
Verify lighting is medium-high intensity, increase fertilizer frequency, check water parameters (pH 6.0-7.5), ensure temperature stability
