Common Diseases
Nutrient Deficiency
Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, pale coloration, loss of pink-orange pigmentation
Increase fertilizer dosing, add comprehensive liquid fertilizers, consider root tabs, ensure adequate CO2 and lighting
Algae Overgrowth
Green or brown algae coating leaves, reduced photosynthesis, plant decline
Reduce lighting duration to 8-10 hours daily, increase water changes, add algae-eating shrimp or fish, improve water circulation
Melting
Rapid leaf deterioration, mushy stems, plant disintegration after planting
Ensure gradual acclimation to new tank conditions, maintain stable parameters, increase CO2 and fertilization, trim affected portions
Poor Coloration
Leaves remain green instead of developing pink-orange tones
Increase lighting intensity to medium-high levels, boost iron and micronutrient fertilization, ensure adequate CO2 supplementation
