I'm not sure what deficiency this is, but my Blyxxa Jap keeps turning a spotted reddish brown. Not sure how to keep it green. I was thinking maybe too much light so I replanted them under an outcropping of Broad Ludwigia to no avail. I prefer green.

Light. Give it some time to grow new leaves in the shade - they will be green .

Bylxa naturally vary between green and copper color like you have in your picture. A lot of it does have to do with lighting, but there are also individual plants that stay more green or more red depending on the variant.

It seems that lighting and Co2 are the source of all evils

LOL, the best quote of the week

I did not realize there are Blyxa Japonica variants? I could swear I could tell the PAR at different spots in s 12L just by looking at individual plants. And I thought I found Nature's PAR meter .

What is going to drive me nuts now is why the plants from the same mother / father (singular?) change colors between different tanks I bet the iron. But then I dose from the same bottle ... Another bummer.

If it's any consolation, I have a handful that I'm blasting light, CO2 and flow over to try and get them to bronze up. But they just get greener lol.

I guess I should buy more blyxxa until I hit the green jackpot

Maybe you guys can do a trade?
