My Amazon Sword plants leaves are getting covered with splotches of algae and I was wondering the best way to safely remove it without harming the plant. Any help appreciated.
I would adjust your lighting down a little and get your fertilization optimal. When a new leaf or two grows in without algae, cut off the affected leaves. If leaves have algae on them, that means they are weak anyway so, cut'em off so new ones will grow in faster. If you are not getting new leaves growing in nicely, you have to fix that first.
