I planted a bunch of dwarf sag in my recently renovated tank and it seems to be going through the same melting process that one sees with crypts. Is this normal or is there something wrong?
Does Dwarf Sag Usually Melt?

my dwarf sags seem to be doing this at the moment, they are new.
so i would guess a little meltdown is normal

no melting here,. do you have any salt in water?
or perhaps very soft water?
whats the temp of water,.

I've moved dwarf sags around and never experienced melting. I've never had the crypt meltdown yet either.
I have experiened this actually. I'm not sure WHY exactly, but I experienced it once in a newly established betta tank, and I'm experiencing it NOW with some that I just got the other day. Don't know why, every other plant in my tank grows like crazy. trimming 10" a week off some of my plants, but these things are melting.
I dunno....if you figure it out, please share!

Any plant that goes into shock has the potential to melt. Just trim away the melted leaves, make sure the crowns aren't buried and remove any rotten roots. The plants will recover in time.
water temp is about 80F. substrate is ada aquasoil. lighting is 40W CFL spiral bulbs, on 8 hrs a day. CO2 injected.
water kH is 5 degrees (86ppm). pH is 6.4 (working on that, aquasoil + CO2 = acidic water lol).
all the crypts that I planted on the same day are also melting, but that has always happened to me. they always rebound, hopefully the dwarf sag will do that same.
what do you mean by the crown?
