Yet it is not just the fish that are a decisive factor in making\nthem so eye-catching, the aquatic plants can also act as a further highlight.\nPlants are also important for aquatic life because they produce oxygen during\nthe day and improve the water quality in the tank by using up excess nutrients\nsuch as nitrate and phosphate. If the aquarium plants\u2019 leaves turn yellow or\nbrown or become perforated though, they are no longer particularly nice to look\nat. But why do aquarium plants turn brown and what can you do to counteract\nthis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Symptoms\nof nutrient deficiencies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One\npossible cause can be a lack of certain nutrients or trace elements in the\naquarium. Plants need various nutrients to grow. If one of these nutrients is\nmissing or only insufficiently available, deficiencies can ensue. In\naccordance\nwith Liebig\u2019s Law of the Minimum, this deficiency still arises even if there is\nan excess of the other required nutrients. It is therefore extremely important\nfor the aquarium to contain enough of each individual nutrient required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nmost important <strong>macronutrients<\/strong> for plants include phosphorous, nitrogen,\npotassium and magnesium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1152\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tetra.net\/en\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aquarium-Pflanzen_dsom-Fotolia_107058185_X.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tetra.net\/en-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aquarium-Pflanzen_dsom-Fotolia_107058185_X.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.tetra.net\/en-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aquarium-Pflanzen_dsom-Fotolia_107058185_X-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.tetra.net\/en-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aquarium-Pflanzen_dsom-Fotolia_107058185_X-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1152px) 100vw, 1152px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phosphorus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water\ntests can be used to detect phosphorous in the form of phosphate. Aquariums\nshould contain neither too much nor too little phosphate. Too much phosphate\noften leads to brown spots developing on leaves and can furthermore encourage\nunwanted plants to grow. Phosphate deficiency, on the other hand, causes poor\ngrowth and small shoots. Stem plants are good indicators of phosphate\ndeficiency as they grow quickly and therefore rapidly display the symptoms\ndescribed. A deficiency can also cause some species of aquatic plants to turn\nviolet or dark in colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nitrogen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A\nnitrogen deficiency primarily affects older leaves. These turn yellow to\nbrownish starting from the tip. Crippled or stunted growth of new leaves can\nalso ensue. It is even possible for leaves to assume a reddish hue. One method\nof testing the nitrogen level in aquariums is by using a nitrate test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Potassium<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plants\u2019\nleaves can also be damaged by a potassium deficiency. This often results from\nstrong lighting and the use of CO<sub>2<\/sub> fertilisers. The first sign of\ndeficiency is often in the form of black dots on the plants\u2019 leaves, which then\ndevelop into holes. Perforated leaves and reduced growth are therefore common\nsymptoms of a potassium deficiency. Yellowish leaves and stunted growth are\nalso possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Magnesium<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnesium\nis an important nutrient for photosynthesis as it is part of the green colour\npigment. A deficiency can be identified through a pale or yellow discolouration\nof leaves (usually older leaves). The leaf veins, on the other hand, tend to remain\ngreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Micronutrients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike\nmacronutrients, plants only need a small amount of micronutrients. However,\naquariums still have to contain these for plants to grow. The most important\nmicronutrient is iron, although copper, manganese, boron, calcium and zinc are\nalso required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tetra.net\/en\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aqaurium-Pflanzen_titipong8176734-Fotolia_63170162_X.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2298\" width=\"1152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tetra.net\/en-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aqaurium-Pflanzen_titipong8176734-Fotolia_63170162_X.jpg 720w, https:\/\/blog.tetra.net\/en-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aqaurium-Pflanzen_titipong8176734-Fotolia_63170162_X-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Iron<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An\niron deficiency tends to affect the newer leaves on aquarium plants. Less\nchlorophyll develops in the new leaves, meaning that leaves that would normally\nbe dark green usually remain light green or even turn yellow to white in colour\n(chlorosis). Stem plants and light-coloured shoot tips can again be good\nindicators of a deficiency. In the event of a serious iron deficiency, stunted\ngrowth and black, dying leaf tissue (necrosis) are also possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CO<sub>2<\/sub>\ndeficiency as a possible cause<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In\naddition to nutrients, aquariums must also contain a sufficient amount of\ncarbon dioxide as plants need this for photosynthesis and therefore growth.\nMost aquariums automatically contain enough CO<sub>2<\/sub> so there is no need\nto add more. However, if an aquarium only contains a few fish or solely\ncontains plants, it can be useful to add CO<sub>2<\/sub>. Typical signs of a CO<sub>2<\/sub>\ndeficiency include stunted and generally poor plant growth. If these symptoms\narise, you should therefore check the CO<sub>2<\/sub> level and add CO<sub>2<\/sub>\nif required. In some cases, it can therefore be very important to use a CO<sub>2<\/sub>\nfertiliser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Substrate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nsubstrate can also often cause aquarium plants to turn brown or not grow\nproperly. This is because it is one of the basic requirements for biological\nbalance in an aquarium and supplies your plants with important nutrients.\nThrough their roots, plants absorb various minerals from the substrate, which\nthey need for their growth. If the substrate becomes compacted, plants can no\nlonger absorb nutrients via their roots and a nutrient deficiency can ensue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other\ncauses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When\nadding new aquatic plants, their leaves can quickly turn brown. The plants are\nusually grown above water. If they are then used underwater as aquarium plants,\nthey quickly adapt to the new environment and produce new leaves. The old\nleaves (\u2018air leaves\u2019) turn brown and gradually drop. The aquarium inhabitants\ncan also be responsible for the leaves turning brown. The leaf epidermis can be\ndamaged by snails or plecos on the leaves. These animals also damage the leaves\nby eating them. This can then cause the leaves to turn brown and\/or become\nperforated, and in the worst-case scenario even to die. In rare cases, brown\naquarium plants can also be caused by a lack of light. You should therefore\nensure that the light is set correctly. Furthermore, different plants have\ndifferent requirements in terms of light. More information on the right\naquarium lighting can be found here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The\nright handling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For\nhealthy plants, it is therefore important to keep an eye on the overall picture\nin the aquarium. A nutrient-rich substrate is equally as important as the\npresence of sufficient macronutrients and trace elements. You should also pay\nattention to the lighting and water pollution. When setting up the aquarium,\nyou should furthermore make sure you choose fish that are suitable for the\nplants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nthe leaves on your aquarium plants start to discolour, you need to take action\nquickly to prevent them from dying. Check the lighting and carbon dioxide\nsupply in the tank and perform water tests. The latter can tell you if there is\na potential nutrient deficiency. If this is the case, you should add an\nappropriate fertiliser. Plant fertilisers usually contain the most important\nnutrients and can therefore help combat yellow and brown aquarium plants or\nplant parts. They can furthermore promote healthy and flourishing plant growth\nin the aquarium. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why aquarium plants turn brown There is something fascinating about aquariums and they nearly always grab your attention.
