Lovely tank, could you explain the logic behind the plant placement? I keep losing plants for some reason. Used root tabs, recently and got some new plants.
I'm no expert, much a beginner, but I know some possibilities. Could be that the plants you have aren't very hardy/take certain conditions to survive. High amounts of lighting, certain temperatures certain pH, kH, etc. A lot of water changes can also impact plants as the conditions change frequently. I know there are easier plants to take care of and are quite hardy such as Anubias the plant I have. I don't even have a substrate, although looking to get some, and the Anubias grow well in just the water conditions: just an example. If you are buying plants online, sometimes these plants are not very hardy and are pretty torn up in the beginning. There are apps you can get such as Plant Finder that will identify the plant for you. Then you can use a quick Google search to see the kind of conditions, if it's an easy plant to take care of, etc. Normally what I've seen is that people use stem plants such as Elodea as the background feature, as they provide shape to the tank making it look more full as they grow quite long. Rhizome plants, such as anubias or java fern, are used as the foreground feature and can grow and it's roots will wrap around rocks and pieces of wood. Then you have your carpet plants: easy ones include dwarf hairgrass, you can find a plethora of options with a quick Google search. And plants that float on the surface of the water, these usually multiply quite fast. Plants will also depend on if you have a saltwater or freshwater, as certain plants will thrive better in either condition. The plants I have spoken about are assuming you are using a freshwater tank. When it comes to the plants you already do have, I would recommend using a plant finder app and searching it's conditions. Some plants will die off and regrow new leaves, some plants will thrive, some plants will die completely. From what I know this is normal. It is also good to perhaps have a planter box with humidity and lighting you can keep your plants in before putting them in the tank, but not everyone has that option. I hope that this was helpful given the limited knowledge I have. Best of luck with your aquarium journey! 👋
