What's up with my water wisteria?!

[Goldfish loach boy]

Ok so today I sat down and looked at my tank, I noticed that my water wisteria had two things
Thing #1. I noticed that one if the leaves is turning black, I mean BLACK! Not even brown, black, like charcoal black!
Thing#2. There is what seems like a root coming out of one part, what's up with that! Is it normal?
Here are the pics

Thanks

Did you just get the plant? The water wisteria looks to be grown emerged and is shedding it's emerged growth to be replaced by its submerged growth. The root is normal for stem plants

Oh ok I see about the root, should I remove it?

I have about 1.5 months with the plant

You can remove it if you don't like the look, it does not matter.

Its most likely just an old leaf thats not getting much light. Just yank it off

Ok thanks, I got worried there

Should I yank it or just what for it to fall off?

Doesn't matter, if you dont like it go to town. I would use your finger nails or some scissors to snip it, but u can prob yank it

Ok, thanks for that!

Do you think it'll change to its submerged form?

I would think it would have already converted, but I'm not sure. Rivercats should chime in

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

I don't think so, but yea, I hope river cats does chime in
