I am talking about the rust color spots on the leaves.
65gl tank over 3yrs old, low light set up, I add a little flourish.
The plant is growing well, but the color of the leaves is not that vivid green.
See the photos

yeah, when I got mine, they were browned too. My LFS said they were supposed to be like that, but after a couple months (will probably be less for you if you have sufficient light and ferts) it turned a nice vivid green. They are also hardy plants. I left them in a bucket with no light for about 2 months with almost no light and they were still in pretty good condition. I highly recommend this plant. THey also grow very fast. I didn't do anythign to help it grow and it kept sprouting new leaves
 
Had thise plants for 6 months, they grow well, but the color.
Ok will let it be!
