Ive been having these plants for about 3 weeks now and they are slowly melting away. Any experts out there to share how to grow this plant besides this link info?

High light, soft water.

Melting is usually caused by a change in water parameters. So basically, you have a plant that was grown in different parameters (probably soft and acidic) and you have put it into a tank that has harder or higher pH water.

If it survives, it'll just melt away a bit, and regrow, and the new growth will be accustomed to your water. I've never had a problem with this plant melting, so I can't help you with specifics, but the best you can do is recreate the conditions the plant came from, and other than that, the best you can do is wait.

I almost lost hope with this beautiful plant until you have posted your advice.
Thanks!
