plants turning brown

[hysterical]

hi ive recently got some new plants.
i think it was myrio-green not really ssure but its tall and fluffy.

the top of it which some are exposing light is out of the water will this cause it to turn brown?

If the plant is out of the water for an extending period of time, the exposed part will dry up, turn brown, and die.

You will want to trim the plant so the whole thing is under water.

ok thanks
i knew it, i was thinking similar to real plants on the ground how it collects water from the root and allow the plant to be hydrated. =P

the plant is slowly turning brown now, even the underwater part

would there be something wrong with my water? or lighting? my other plants species are fine.

if it is that plant requires moderate lighting (which i dont think that you have) so it might just wither away and die.

any help to recover the brown colour to green?
can i leave the light on longer than usual 9hrs cycle?

 

[coach_z]

what type of light is it? do you know how many watts?

its a 18W fluorescence light
