Blog: Aquarium plants

Aquarium plants lose their leaves due to a CO2 deficiency, insufficient lighting, or because they're transitioning from above-water to underwater. The problem is usually easy to solve; it's also called autofragmentation or stem rot.

Dying or poorly growing aquarium plants are caused by a deficiency or excess of CO2, nutrients, or light. They could also be paludarium plants, which will die within two weeks if completely submerged.

One of the most commonly used aquarium plants is Cryptocoryne. These spatula-shaped aquarium plants are used in the middle/background. As soon as you plant your first Cryptocoryne plants in your aquarium, you might have noticed that after a few weeks, the plant becomes completely slimy and either dies or grows back. In this article, we'll discuss how you can prevent this!
