What am I doing wrong?

[Frenchi]

Hi ppl
I have a plant here that just curls constantly I'm sure it wasn't like this when I put it in well over 12 month ago ...
Does anyone know the cause?
250 litre setup
I do inject co2 to 20mg/l
Phos 5ppm
Nitrate 10ppm
Ph7.2
I add ferropol 24 at 4 drops daily and ferropol fert at 4mil per day and also the jbl clay balls round all roots ...

Hope you can help

This is an Echinodorus........of some kind. There's literally a new variety/cross/whatever put on market every day - making it allmost imposdible to id them. Some of the varieties have this tendency. Fx. some Ech. Rubin narrow have this "problem".

I had some of these in an old scape, it was named echinodorus red devil. It tends to twist like this. A strange plant.

Especially when CO2 is marginal.

It was how the plant was supposed to grow.

Looks genetic.

Thank you very much everyone for your help.
You say the co2 is marginal do you think I'm adding too much or could I add more .. I'm quite new to the co2

Cheers

I'm not sure upping the c02 will do anything for this plant. What are the other plants looking like in the tank?

Well some of them seem to be doing really well where others seem very slow I'll take a photo anyway...

Hope these help

As it took it's submersed form the leaves curled and twisted.
