Plant dying

One of the plants in the back of my tank is dying. All the others are doing fine, so i don't know whats causing it. I noticed a brown leaf a couple days ago and now its half brown, and i dont want it to die because it is a nice plant. Does anyone know how to save it? I attached a picture if you want to see it.

I’m not sure, I got it from Craigslist about a month ago. Is there anything for general plant care that might help?

Hmm... do you use any liquid fertilizer or root tabs? What about Co2 injection? It is hard to tell what it might want when you don’t know the species.

I use liquid fertilizer. All the water parameters seem to be good too. I don’t use co2

Ok, I think you should get root tabs for that plant. It might be a heavy root feeder and from what I can tell from the picture is that you have a gravel substrate.
