Browning plants

also....do swords really like med to high light? if this is true I think I will have to have a word with my lfs...
 
Sure the plants are in a tank when you see them but they came from a farm where they were grown emmersed. Those do look like submerge growth though.
Yes, most swords like med-high light but don't necessarily require it to survive. They just won't grow to their biggest and best that they can be...which is good for most hobbyists :)
 
I'm beginning to have that same problem with my sword. I will clip the ones that are going bad today. I have read that swords cannot fix themselves so dying leaves will need to be removed.

Now my question is this, clip them at the bottom of the shoot? Or clip them at the leaf itself?
