Petra Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 My amazon sword plant appears to be growing but the leaves are drooping. I add liquid CO2 to the tank which the Java fern loves but I dont know what could be wrong with the amazon sword. Any ideas ? Thank you !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alesha Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I have a couple ruffle sword leaves doing the same thing. The only thing I can figure is that they are the oldest leaves & as the newer leaves grow in the middle of the plant, it pushes them out away from the center of the plant. Then they start to droop the farther from the middle they get. I hope that makes sense. LoL. It's the only thing I can think of to cause the droopiness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes L. Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 How long has the plant been in your tank? And do you use root tabs? Amazon Swords are heavy root feeders so they may be lacking nutrients if you haven't been using root tabs. What is the hardness of your tank water? Amazon Swords don't do well in hard water.
