Australian Buttercup

Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, pale coloration, leaf holes or necrotic spots

Increase fertilizer dosing, ensure adequate macro and micronutrients, verify lighting is sufficient (medium), and consider adding CO2 if not already present

Green or brown algae coating plant 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, and improve water circulation

Mushy stems, blackened runners, plant deterioration despite adequate nutrients, foul odor from substrate

Improve substrate drainage and water circulation, reduce fertilizer temporarily, remove affected portions, increase water change frequency, and ensure substrate is not compacted

Rapid leaf dissolution, transparent or translucent leaves, plant appears to dissolve

Gradually acclimate plant to tank conditions over 2-3 weeks, maintain stable water parameters, ensure adequate CO2 and nutrients, and avoid sudden environmental changes
