Certain plant will only grow well under high light, CO2 and the correct macro and micro nutrients.

If your plants are rotting and getting covered with algae, you need to keep low light plants with little demands. Such as Java Moss and Java Fern.

Ps: but yes - you do need to remove the decomposing plants as excess organic matter will reduce the water quality and compromise the health of your fish in a closed system tank environment.

It depends on the plants you have. If you really want to get your current plants growing better / well, you need to give us some more information on them and your current setup. You will get most planted help in the Planted Section where there are many pinned topics to guide you such as Basic Guide to Lighting & Algae in the Planted Aquarium.
