I picked up a book called Aquarium Plants:

http://www.amazon.com/Aquarium-Plant...596767&sr=8-10

You can get it online for $7. It has a bunch of species, and it tells you how to set up a few different types of tanks. It talks about substrates, and the kinds of things plants need to grow healthy. It will probably answer any question that you might have about the basics of getting into this hobby.

Also if you can't figure it out still, to properly diagnose your tanks problem you need to give us the specs on it:

what kind of filter are you using?
how often do you change the water/ how do you do that?
what kind of lighting are you using?
how many watts per gallon are you at?
do you add CO2?
What species of plants do you have in the tank?
What kind of substrate did you use? Fluorite? Laterite? ADA?
Do you fertilize? How much?
What kinds of animals are in the tank too?
