No luck here spreading my MC. Its been more than 6mos and grows really sloooowww lols. While some of its tank mates platns grows well.

Hi all! Got some problems with my monte carlo, the old leaves all melt including the stem, leaving only the new leaves which are stunted. However, other plants (hairgrass, myriophyllum) are doing well! Help please
Probably lack of co2. Although it's an easy plant but it still needs sufficient lighting n co2 to carpet well.
Hi, mine seemd to melt when i added water. Wit iy still grow up?
Here is the pic that i failed to upload last night. Melted brown in foreground after i added water. Any chamce they will still grow or i should go buy more that are already submerge in water? I start to pump CO2 after it melted slightly. Canister type, twice a day.

not enuff Co2 and lighting
If the MC were sourced in emersed form from LFS, then it's quite normal that they may melt a bit when initially planted submerged into a tank. It's the usual effects of transition.
Just trim and remove the melting parts, eventually the healthy parts that remain will adapt, establish roots and resume growing new submerged leaves.
Buying and planting more MC that is already in submerged form would be good, they will usually adapt faster and help to fill up the carpet density quicker.
Btw, those disposable spray can type Co2 systems don't generate much effect due to their inherent inefficiencies, so if you really want to improve the plant growth, its better to use proper Co2 systems and/or liquid carbon supplementation.
Thanks for your advice! Will go get a excel. Also i am looking at the other fertilizer. Too many to choose. Any recommendations for a all in 1 that i can get as well?
Hi, shine 6 am to 6 pm dymax NX 5 light. 6pm to 10 pm aqua zone 7W light.
CO2 canister type spray into submerged diffuser chamber at 6am and 8pm, twice daily.
