Looking at my giant hygro leaf what is the Plant deficiency

Post by Nikhilsk99 »

Looking at my giant hygro leaf what is the Plant deficiency ? What should I do ?
I have baby tears, althernanthera reineckii, Staurogyne repens and these plants are doing well in the same tank but not the giant hygro.
I added a root tab last night assuming giant hygro consumes lots of frets.

OK. I Google "holes in leaves nutrient deficiency" and found this link to the Aquarium Wiki:
http://www.theaquariumwiki.com/Plant_Deficiencies

" Lack of Potassium
Pinholes in leaves which slowly become larger over time. Leaves begin to curl, become yellow from edge inwards and also lose resistance to disease - add a source of potassium in powder or bottle form."

With any luck, your fertilizer tab will fix this.
