The tips of the leaves r brown

[hockeyhead019]

ok so obviously as the title states a couple of the tips on my amazon swords have gone brown... just the very tip not even a quarter inch in... should i clip the tip and let it grow back or should i just let it do it's thing?

thanks guys

They will not repair leaves. As they get bad just remove the whole leaf. the plant will use its energy to grow more.

How much light do you have, do you put fert tabs under the sword?

How new is the sword? Most swords are grown emmersed(only roots submerged) and when the plant is transplanted fully underwater it will lose those leaves. New ones will quickly grow in its place.

the sword is very new so that might be the problem so i'll just keep an eye on it and if they get bad i'll just pluck the leave... thanks

Yep thats quite normal. My sword puts out about 2-3 leaves a week so you'll have a healthy looking plant in no time. thumbs2:
