I have an Echinodorus Osirus. From the shop, leaf length compared to stem was about 30%/70% respectively. It's been running for 2 weeks in my new high light+co2 setup. The new leaves that have appeared are more like 60/40 and double the size, this is considerably different. Every leaf has had curly edges, every third leaf appears with a few holes in it.
The older leaves show no sign of deficiency, all leaves pearl, the new ones are very red fading to green after a week or so. It's chucking out a new leaf every 36 hours or so. The holes in new leaves are already there once the leaf unfurls, there is no sign of deficiency around the holes, no spitting out o2 from the hole edge, no yellowing etc One of the older leaves did seem to bend at leaf/stem junction and fall off.
I've tried to identify a nutrient deficiency, been increasing NPK, traces, GH and CO2 but nothing seems to fix it so I am wondering if this is simply that the plant hasn't adapted to it's new environment yet and is in effect growing too fast! Is this possible?
