Depends. What do you use as fertilizer? How much? How often? Water changes? GH? Kh? Co2?

He meant ferts concentrations. We need at least the product, dose and tank size.

Overall, many plants from the Lythraceae family stunt under many reasons. This include rotalas, ammanias and others.

Too much/little ferts, too little light or co2, too much biomass (plant competition), unfavourable water hardness/pH. It depends.

What do you grow well? Under which circumstances? GH, KH, pH, your city water report, this is basic when growing medium-difficult plants. Thats the price for fixing your plant ;)

Thank you

Thank you
Did you really? Did not want to scare you, just wanted to share a broader perspective...

So, what is your plan now? :)

plant plan
more lighting
more co2
add phosphorus

I think it is a phosphorus deficiency
My opinion is that you probably do not need more light. Ratio of nitrates to phosphates should be around 3:1. So 10ppm of NO3 goes along with 3ppm of PO4.

I would suggest at least a 1 point pH drop from co2. 1.4 is even better. Make sure you have good water circulation around it.

Your light is probably fine, you could increase it, but I would not start there.

What is your iron dosing, product, chelator, amount, frequency?
