New Bacopia Caroliniana

Hello all, 

I got my shipment from the co-op on Friday arrived great!!(thank you guy)! I know it’s crazy early but I seem to notice the lower half of my plant looks to me melting a bit? Is this normal the top of the plant and the bottom of the plant look good! Just the lower middle is in question! I put a root tab close to it! I’m sure it’ll rebound but just asking! And I did get my self a bottle of easy green when should I start using it? My cryptoryne lutea seems to be looking good but I guess it’s still too early to tell.

actually, yes, that is common. it happens because the melting part was probably grown out of water, and it is going to have trouble adapting to being in the water. You can literally clip off the healthy parts and plant the ends in the substrate and they will reroot, and make a healthy plant from the ground up.

And if I leave it will it be okay and get full again? Should I start using the easy green or should I hold off until it get more acclimated?

@Mikeo from my experience it takes a really long time for the melted leaves to regrow at that spot, if they ever do. You should start using easy green but it won't help with the melting.

Ouch that’s not what I wanted to hear 😞. Thank you for your response! A fare amount of leaves look to be thinning and melting as of this mourning! I will Try to take a picture later when I get home.

Should I start adding the easy green? I plan on trimming the dead leaves off.
