Default Plants loosing colour

About five weeks ago I planted a variety of plants. Some of them (not sure
of name) had a beautiful copper/red colouring, however recently the leaves
are turning green. One that I particularly like has a corn type base and the
Lilly leaves float on the surface of the water. Roots appear to be good and
I feed with Seachem Flourish Tabs - No CO2. Any ideas on how I can get the
colouring back?

Thanks - Dave


If I remember correctly, Iron and a specific lighting level are needed
to continue the redness in red plants, at which I am the worlds
worst.......

The lilly plant you speak of, did you buy it at wal-mart?

Tabs are great, but liquid flourish could be better... see, some
plants fert from the roots, others fert from the water... depending on
your plant, you might be wasting $$ and time.... I'm not sure so don't
take my word on it...

You're in the right place, hang on, someone more smart than I will
answer... (more smart, that's like good, gooder, goodest)
