    looks more like bottom leaves dying from lack of light and nutrients 'cause being overshadowed by top layers to me

    whats your tank setup and fert regime like?
    the glosso growing tall maybe due to lack of light

    you also need to do some trimming off of the top layer leaves
    check out Aeon's glosso guide for tips

    That's not glosso. Emersed glosso doesn't have straight stems. Let me check my books.

    Looks like it. If not, another likely candidate could be Rotala indica var.uliginosa

    If it is due to insufficient light. How much lighting is needed? Is 2x30w enough for a 3.5 feet tank?

    I think so too. From the pic, looks like they were tied on wood in half emersed before, and now the lower parts are rotting.

    Bro, Dannyfish, if what im guessing is right, you may want to quickly cut off the rotting part and plant the remainings into the substrate.

    For glosso to grow nicely, you need ~150-180W for a 3.5 ft tank.

    doesnt seems to look like glosso to me.
    light is not reaching the bottom of the plant, so causing the bottom leaves to rot.
