Hi
I've been trying to grow Ludwigia repens, which seems to be producing new leaves, but the old ones seem to be yellowing at the tips, then turning black. I also have to keep re-inserting the stems in my substrate as the bottoms seem to be rotting and then the stem pulls out. It just doesn't seem to want to take root and get going. It is located in the corner of the tank, just below the filter outlet, so probably doesn't get much flow from the outlet, but should see some as water passes into the inlet. Looking at plant deficiency chart, looks like possible Nitrogen deficiency? Should I increase the ferts?
Tank is a 20L, 1mL liquid CO2 daily, 6hr lighting period, 1mL TNC daily, quite heavily planted, internal filter. Tropica soil capped with small gravel.
Any help much appreciated.
