Default Another Amazon Sword question...

Expect the leaves to fall, but supplementing with Iron will keep them from
yellow spotting, and falling off right?


It won't keep the old leaves from dying. Amazon swords are grown emersed, and
the emersed leaves die when you submerge the plant in an aquarium. As long as
the plant is healthy, it's nothing to worry about. New leaves will grow in to
replace the old ones.

Swords do like root tabs, but you might hold off for a few weeks. Give them a
chance to get established before you start fertilizing.
