This is my first try at aquatic plants - I got an assortment of plants and put them in ecocomplete in a 29g that I'm fishy cycling.

Overall they look pretty good (it has been about a week) but about half the plants have one leaf or stem that has turned brown and is, well, dying.

Should I worry about it or just prune off the brown parts? It seems weird to me that a plant would have four healthy looking green leaves and one brown leaf that looks awful...

EDIT: I forgot to say that the light is 65w @6500k on about 10 hours a day, plants are swords, crypts, java fern, anubias.

Ok thanks!

They do have root tabs and I've also been using a little Flourish twice a week.
 
A stem at a time, spread out around the tank with bigger things toward the back. Would it be better to clump them up?
