Hello, I've been keeping a planted tank for around 2-3 months, but most of
my plants have been dying.

I have a 10 gall (Marineland) with around 7 plants including:
-baby tears
-pennywarts
-sword ocelets
-anubias
-anacharis
-banana plant

-and more

here is the link to the aquarium:
Freshwater Saltwater LED Aquarium Kits | Marineland

I give my plants about 10 hours of light a day and they are growing
in flourite substrate. I also started using "Special Blend" to treat my plant
I do a 30% water change every week.

Are you using that led light that came with the tank? If so buy the fugeray for like $70 or whatever it is nowadays and stick that on there. Dose with excel to prevent massive algae. Buy two Otos and three nerite snails. Buy some root tabs or water column ferts. Wait two weeks and you plants will be 2x their size

Yea you need more light, everything on the corners is browning and your plants would love you forever for the fugeray. Go on Amazon or eBay and Google the finnex fugeray with moonlights and get true right size for the length of your aquarium??

For Fertilizer you might try Thrive. It's a new liquid all in one Fert. With low light that you have now, dose as directed. If you get a Planted+ then follow directions for High light.

I use 1 pump 1x weekly on my lowlight tanks.
My high light 55g is dosed 3x weekly. PWC weekly.

Just remember, plants also need to transition to a new tank. You will get some die off even in ideal conditions. Baby Tears are very tricky for many.

Your Swords need Root Tabs.
