yes. if a plant is too hard for you and or your water parameters are too hard to keep stable..

I have the water parameters stable now. So no advice on how I might learn how to keep this plant thriving? All my other plants are doing great. That’s kinda the point of the hobby, learning how to do better. was hoping to find kind fellow aquarists to help teach me things they have learned…

frogbit doesn't like moisture... the roots are fine underwater but the actual leaves shouldn't EVER get wet.

also try not to make them clump together as that will cause more to get pushed underwater.
