So I started the aquriam hobby in January of this year and started toying with live plants about a month and a half later.
So far the only thing ive been able to successfully keep alive is different types of Anbus, small crested Java fern and this type of carpet plant that almost looks like a four leaf clover.
Aside from that I've tried Amazon sword and water Wisteria.
I'm not too broken up about the Amazon sword but I was really excited about the Wisteria.
I've tried it planted and floating and planted the stem where its planted starts to look like floss and eventually breaks off from the roots and both times the leaves begin to rot and I find dead leaves all over the tank.
I have root tabs and use Flourish Iron.
I have two lamps above the tank, they're just regular lamps with the highest watt bulbs I can find and I tend to leave them on longer than I care to admit during the day because I always forget to turn them off.
There's plenty of nitrate that builds up during the week before my wc that they can feed off.
Any advice on how to better care for my underwater plants??
