Hello everyone,

In my 20 gallon I've got some really nice looking Sunset Hygro
that grows in a brilliant red. I also have a bit of Bacopa planted near
it. As the nutrients in the tank get lower (in the week or so between
water changes), the youngest leaves of the Bacopa turn a very nice red.
It matches the hygro wonderfully.

I fertilize during weekly water changes - half of a single dose
of Kent FW Plant supplement and half of a single dose of Flourish Trace.
Within a few hours the red in the Bacopa has faded completely back to
green.

First, why does this happen like this? I've heard of nutrient
deficiency causing red plants to turn green, but not vice versa.
Second, any way to keep the Bacopa more on the red side?
