    another point to add, last time i heard before from some bros that planting new plants into the tank, try not to plant it straight into the substrate all the way, let a bit of the roots show. guess its something like accumatising the plant to your tank. all expert out there please advice if the point i put across is not true.

    Thanks

    left is alone for the next few days. if the melting stop, then it will be fine. heard that mini taco is a difficult plant to keep. i got 4 of it in my tank now, all is healthy and growing.

    Thank you sir. I will try to take a full tank shot soon, as currently trying to convert to mainly crypt. Lots of changes everyday since I started.

    Update on mini taco

    All the old leaves had melted, but seem like it is still surviving as can see couple of new born leaves.

    Hope it will survive.
