Help! Money Wort lossing bottom leaves

[damman6]

My 2 week old money wort plant is growing tall fast but the bottom leaves are dieing! The lower leaves are turning brown every day. But the top keeps growing and is doing well.
Is this bad? Any Idea of how to help this plant?

Your plant is fine. Those are old leaves that's dying. Just take them off and it will still grow more leaves.

When I planted my moneywort, all of the leaves died. Then it stopped and looked nice and healthy. Then a month later they all started to melt and Rot. Dunno why. I hate moneywort.

Yeah it's a nice plant, not that I don't like yours lol. I just had an annoying experience with it.

If it continues to show dying leaves, it may eventually stop like mine did. Then start to get nice and pretty again

And also, i think they are still adjusting to your water parameters since they are just two weeks old. Some plants that's somewhat new in a tank takes time to adjust. They start melting but after a month, they are pretty well established and they will start getting healthy.

But yours looked healthy to me, so no worries.

Lots of plants are grown emersed and then have to transition once put in a submerged environment, which might be what you're seeing. Lower leaves falling off can also be a sign of deficiency (particularly nitrate) or insufficient light.
