Hello
Wanted to ask if anyone knows what's going on with my Hygrophila Pinnatifida. I added them as cuttings, without any roots, to an otherwise thriving aquarium. I have various stem plants and crypts, anubias, buce, monte carlo, marsilea, floaters, and houseplants in the sump section, all doing well (though the MC is mainly just surviving). I have high light, have to dose ferts, including NP, but no CO2.
As for the Hygrophila, I planted some stems into the substrate, (stratum + tnc complete root tabs). They lost all their leaves except for a few small ones at the top. There are some tiny new ones, but I'm not sure if they'll make it. I also stuck one just into the wood (the one on the photo), and that's been doing much better, but now it developed holes and started loosing leaves.
