Hello, I have a question about my planted aquarium. I currently have 3 kinds of plants in there. Anubia, Mermaid and Wisteria. The Anubia and Mermaid plants seem very healthy and have grown quite a bit however the Wisteria is turning a yellowish color especially at the top. It is the tallest plant and it basically sits at the top of the waterline but still sumerged. I wonder if it is too close to the light that is on the hood. Could too much light or it being close to it be causing it to do so ?
 
I use this stuff regularly

You could always cut the wisteria top off and plant it. That allows your plant to grow back thicker and more compact. As well as gaining a new plant
 
Oh ok yhea I thought about that but I was sure how good the Wisteria grows after being cut
 
It's fine if you have enough light for them. They will grow back and you'll get 2 stems where that one was. They usually grow back pretty quick

Wisteria grows like a weed. If you're lighting is even mediocre, it will grow. Cut the stem just above a couple of leaf nodes -- this will be where new branches sprout. You can then replant the top, first trimming off any leaves that would be under the substrate.
 
Alright I will give that a try thanks a lot for your help
