What if the latest aquatic plants turn yellow?

The role of aquatic plants in the aquarium can be said to play an important role, in the aquarium, aquatic plants will also carry out photosynthesis. In fact, it is not difficult to raise aquatic plants, but many fish friends will find that their aquatic plants begin to turn yellow after a period of time, and they do not know how to save them. Let's take a look at what to do if they turn yellow.

Not enough nutrients.

[symptoms] if there are not enough nutrients, the water plants will lack the nutrients for growth, and if the nutrients are not absorbed, the water plants will turn yellow.

[methods] when there are not enough nutrients, water plants should be fertilized. The available fertilizers include base fertilizer, liquid fertilizer, root fertilizer and other trace elements, among which root fertilizer and base fertilizer are mixed into the middle sand when laying sand. Fertilization is a step before planting water plants, and can not be added after planting water plants, because when laying sand, it is evenly mixed with base fertilizer and root fertilizer, which is conducive to the uniform absorption of water plants.

Lack of light

Symptoms: the main reason for the yellowing of aquatic plants is that due to insufficient light time or insufficient light intensity, aquatic plants can not carry out photosynthesis, and aquatic plants will slowly change or die.

[methods] the light of aquatic plants should be carried out regularly and quantitatively every day, the light time needed for normal growth is about 6-8 hours, and light is needed at a fixed time every day.

Physiological dehydration

[symptoms] in mild cases, the leaves will become small and dark green, especially the young leaves can not expand and curl, in severe cases, the young leaves begin to rot from the tip and edge of the young leaves, gradually spread to the old leaves, and finally the whole aquatic plant withered and died. The main cause of physiological dehydration of aquatic plants is that the concentration of total ions in water is too high due to excessive fertilization.

[methods] regular change of water and control of monthly fertilizer application are necessary steps to avoid physiological dehydration of aquatic plants.

Sun exposure

[symptoms] different varieties of aquatic plants have different requirements for light intensity, and many species of aquatic plants beyond the temperature limit will grow poorly or wither and die.

[methods] it should not be placed in direct sunlight, but should be shaded by a shade.
