Dead Leaves

[Dude]

i have two questions

one
.
my hy poly is allways "shedding" its leaves and it makes a big mess

is there any way that i could prevent this?


two
.
if i have the poly planted in the ground and i cut it really close to the ground will it grow back
if it has no leaves on it?

If the plant is shedding leaves its either fish picking them off, or the plant not getting something it needs thus loosing is foliage. Have you tried ferts in the tank ?

I have mine in a 55litre with 25Wats over it and its doing fine without any ferts or CO2. SO lighting might be the problem.

 

[Dude]

yea if there was a problem it would be lighing...

ive been adding liquid fert

and i have laterite in the substrate
plus the clay balls

and diy co2 once a week.....

so i guess its time for an upgrade.....

and i dont have fish that pic plants
