Aquarium Live Plant
Aquarium Live Plant
the leaves on my live aquarium plants are drooping?
im not sure what kind of plant they are. The look like an elephant ear plant....the 2 i have have white leaves...some are red. These are about 4" tall.
They have been in the tank for about 2 weeks. I also have 2 other plants (crinum) they are tall with long grass looking leaves. These seem to be doing good...one of them i can already tell has grown....its touching the top of the tank already.
Why would the other plants "sag" ??
What could cause this?
It sounds like the pet store sold you a "bog plant" and labeled it an aquarium plant. Bog plants only have their roots under Water, the leaves must be up in the atmosphere. It is probably an "arrowhead bog plant." Very few aquatic plants have red leaves and the ones that do are small teardrop shaped leaves.
The reason they are sagging is that they are probably dying because they are totally submerged. I would remove them before they start decaying and fouling your tank. Put them in a pot and water them good. See if they don't perk up with the leaves out of the water.
The crinum is definitely an aquatic plant and will do well submerged, the arrowhead will die eventually.
The pet stores sell the bog plants because they look nice even though they know the plants will die off in an aquarium. When they die, the customer comes back and buys more plants and plant food and special lights..... It's all about the money!
