xXInkedPhoenixX Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Plant melt is not unusual when putting in new plants- they are adjusting to your tanks. Cut/remove dead or dying leaves so the plant no longer puts energy into them and into newer growth. Ferts are up to you. It often depends on the kinds of plants you are trying. Also if you are new at plants you may want to try all in one like Easy Green from Aquarium Co-op. If you are using planting substrate (like Eco Complete) you don't really need anything for a while (IMO). I am low tech and don't use any fertilizers but I only grow plants that can tolerate these conditions- easy grow plants like Anubias, Java Fern and some others. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 an all in one fert is a good start if you arent sure of what the plants need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
