I had been having trouble to get my java fern to grow at all since it's intro to my tank about 6 weeks ago... the leaves were really dark green and getting covered in a blackish brown coating I think are Diatoms. Also, it wasn't the nicest specimen to begin with (petsmart's plants always look kinda weak). I trimmed the worst affected leaves about 2 weeks ago and since I've had a bunch of new shoots from the rhizome, and 3 plantlets grow on the tips of the mature leaves I left intact.
I'm now seeing a third or so of the tip of the new leaves turning sort of translucent... I assume this is a nutrient deficiency, but of what nutrient?
The only relevant test kit I have is NO3; These are consistently around 20-30 ppm.
The only fert I dose is a few drops of Seachem Flourish at each water change.
This is the tank in my Sig, btw.
TIA
