ADA Amazonia is great, but it can deplete nutrients over time. Root tabs might still help.

Also, make sure your filter isn't too strong. Some plants don't like high flow. What filter are you running?

If you're using ADA Amazonia, it should still have nutrients. Maybe your plants just need time to adjust. How long have they been in the tank?
