FishPlanet Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 So, I bought some Staurogyne Repens because I liked the idea of having a carpeting plant in my tank. The plants arrived ok. I put the plant in my tank and gave the plant some ferts and waited. A week or 2 later it was gone. It turned brown and melted. I only have one tiny piece that probably won't make it. What happened?

Mmiller2001 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Probably low light and low CO2. What's your GH and KH? How much fertilizer are you dosing a week? There's also a specific disease this plant can suffer from. Edited December 27, 2021 by Mmiller2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am dosing the tank with liquid ferts 2x a week (1.6 ML 2x a week). And root tabs 1x a month. Edited December 29, 2021 by FishPlanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly low fertilizer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
