identify the plant on the driftwood?

Some sort of Anubias.

Some sort of Anubias.

+1 Anubis for sure

 

[ThatPlantedTank]

How do I care for it? And Scotty horse thank you so much! You're always helping me! I'd love to purchase some of your ferns!

 

[Scottyhorse]

Honestly, anubias are REALLY easy to take care of.. Just leave it tied to the DW and it'll be fine.

 

[cgthebeast]

It's a low light plant, as long as you have lights it will grow

I can already tell after 2 weeks! And my swords leaves are getting clearish and slightly brown at the tips... is this over lighting? A friend told me I was keeping the light on to long.

Hmm, not sure about the swords. There heavy root feeders so that could be it. Do you use root tabs?

 

[ThatPlantedTank]

Not yet No. They were doing fine when I had thick gravel and soil. But now I can't afford a thick layer of gravel or soil: (

That's not a prob, I suggest looking into some though. They work wonders and I'm guessing that's what causing the problem

 

[ThatPlantedTank]

Are they going to die if I don't in time or will they just continue looking a little down?

They should just look a little down.

 

[Scottyhorse]

Probably will die, yes.

 

[cgthebeast]

Mine went a while without them, they survived but didn't fair to well through it. I suggest picking some up soon
