Could be true. I used to have Laterite in the floor. That's propably why the
root feeders did well, allthough crypts never did. They kind of didn't die,
but didn't do anything either.....
I now have a different tank. The Swords don't do well, but Java Moss and all
other plants have taken off. Oh well, never mind, as long as they are
growing.
Here is a pictu

Don't give up, you will find a plant which will take off, honestly.

Sounds like root feeders work for you...water collumn feeders dont.

Java fern doesn't die. Try that?

It does in my tank, I am afraid.....Took me 3 tries as well, to keep
Java
Moss alive...My Java Moss is now going mad and I have to keep cutting
it,
but the 2 batches before died a slow death. Some of the same batch of
moss
is now in one of our other tanks and is dying there. Java Ferns don't do
well in any of our tanks. They either don't grow, or don't grow and die.
Nothing in between.
A plant which is doing well in all our tanks is the Madagascar Lace
Plant
though and Aponogentum Ulvaceus. Amazon swords can be hardy plants, or
Vallis.
