How big is the tank and how many watts of light does it have?

What kind of fish and how many do you have in the tank?

You might have marsh plants and not true aquatic plants. Marsh plants are designed to grow with their roots in water and their leaves out of water. Marsh plants can support their own weight when removed from water whereas true aquatics are not able to do this and will fall down when taken out of the water.
It could also be lack of light.

5 rummy nose tetra
2 cherry barb
3 guppy

Sounds like it got a incandescent bulb (oval shaped one that screws into the hood on one end) their really are not a lot of plants that can live under that kind of lighting. The best ones to try would be anubis and possibly java moss.
