I had purchased a lovely bunch of Mayaca from an LFS about two months ago and it has just slowly withered away. I originally had it in a 10g, and my little dwarf honey gold gourami picked at it mercilessly. That withering, I understand. I saved several offshoots that were a nice, healthly green and put them into other tanks (varying setups, light levels, pH, etc). In all of them the main "trunk" will slowly darken and wither and there will be a couple of healthly looking, but very small offshoots, but when replanted they just go as well.
What gives? This did not seem like such a touchy plant. The LFS just had it stuffed into a tank for months and they're tank was definitely low-tech.
Is this considered a very difficult or delicate plant?
(BTW, I like to keep my tanks low tech, I do not use CO2 or get wild with fertilization. I have no other plants that are so picky.)
