bottlerocket Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 please help...my dwarf sag is turing yellow and falling apart and another plant which i think is Hygro is getting holes in the leaves and then falling off. I use flourish excel and JBL balls, most of the other plants are doing well. Any ideas guys and gals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketman Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 whats in your tank? moonlight gouramis leave holes in my leaves, but not enough or so often to kill anything might it be a fish eating your leaves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 i think I have a hygro plant .. not 100% sure, but my whiptail leaves holes in the leaves - yet he won't eat veges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 What's your dosing regime for the Flourish Excel? I found that when I started dosing Flourish Comprehensive the number of holes slowly decreased, now my leaves are mostly fine now. It's could be just a certain micro nutrient deficiency. I find that Dwarf sag also needs quite a lot of light to grow well. Also, if you've freshly replanted it then it'll fall apart, then slowly regrow.

phoenix44 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 lack of phosphorous causes holes in the leaf. bit weird about the sag getting holes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquila Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'm no plant expert, but I've heard of some terrestrial plants turning yellow because of either a Nitrogen or Iron deficiency. Iron apparently is harder to uptake by plants when the water is really alkaline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
