Whitecloud09 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) My moneywort is turning to “mush” if you will and idk why. My nitrates sit at 10 ppm constantly and ph is kinda on the harder side of things with 7.6. I put in AC easy tabs + a weekly dose of fertilizer from AC as well. Very odd. Here are some pics, any help will be great! Thanks This last picture is the part that broke off of the plant and I left it as a floater, the roots are like basically rotting and I have no clue why 😐 Edited April 16 by Whitecloud09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyM Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Is this newly planted? Is the tank new? If you bought it from the Coop they might send a replacement. 10ppm nitrate might be a little low for a planted tank, then again I've never had good luck with stem plants so I just don't do them - my ph is close to yours fwiw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plant is new yes, like 3 weeks old, the tank is almost half a year old, cycled and thriving @MattyM, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you have gravel right now but if you get a nutrients rich substrate you could try crypts. Also, if this is a new plant it might be melting and then coming back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
