So ive had these plants for a couple of weeks and some are concerning me. My s repens were grown out of water and i was told that they would melt a little at first but im not sure if this is the case at this point. They seem to be doing a more than melting just a little. Also my buce flora looks to be dying, is it? And whats the issue? Finally my gratiola red came almost dead but is sprouting on the top and i was wondering if i should try to cut off the shoot and replant it yet or if I should wait longer. I dose flourish excel and flourish thus far and my lighting is 11 wats for a 5 gal. 20170827_013057.jpg20170827_013049.jpg20170827_013043.jpg
 
The S repens does not look that bad. Just look for new leaves sprouting.
I believe the buce should not be planted in the substrate. I suppose it could but it looks a little too deep.
As for the other stem plant, I would let the new growth get larger and then trim and replant it.
 
What type of lighting are you using?
I'm using a stingray Finnex 20 inch, it has an output of 11 watts and I know that isn't a lot but my baby tears seem to be doing ok, so should I replant the buce or just dig it up a little? I have super glue for plants, should I just glue it to my driftwood?

Yep glue it to the driftwood. If the repens were grown emersed u can expect to loose every leaf. Emersed grown leaves can't survive in submerged state so they will shed every last one of them. Look for signs of new growth. [emoji106]

Awesome [emoji16] they are a nice hardy plant so they will bounce back really fast once they adjust [emoji106]
