Crypto lutea growth issue...

Hi all!  My planted tank is about 6 weeks old now and everything is going well overall.  All the plants are producing new shoots/leaves however the cryptocoryne lutea has been somewhat of an enigma.  Each time it produces a stem, over the next few days, a different stem will yellow and die off.  At this point, I'm 99% certain all of the original leaves have already melted away, so I'm dealing with all new, post-planting stems.  All of the other plants are thriving, so I don't think I have a mineral deficiency.  I also have a crypto wendtii green, which is having no problems.  Maybe this species needs more root tab than the other?

I've included a handy-dandy photo!  Yeah, I have too much time on my hands...  Thanks in advance all!

Thanks @Jungle Fan!  I had placed down root tabs when I first planted the tank.  The other crypto has been growing well since that time so my initial thought was that wasn't the issue, but now I'm not so sure.  Tomorrow is PWC time so I'll try plopping down another and seeing what happens.
