Hey all, i was curious on more information on plants acclimation to replanting. I noticed my vallisneria often drop many leaves and look terrible in my tank when i plant them, and it take over a month for them to acclimate and grow back strong. Is this normal?
 
Yup, pretty much. This is especially true when moving between vastly different conditions, ie high light to low light, CO2 to none, etc. Some plants freak out when their roots get disturbed even.
