Monte carlo melting 2 weeks after planting

Set up a 30 gallon with aquasoil and pressurized CO2. Planted monte carlo from tissue culture cups. Looked great the first week and now a lot of it is turning see-through and floating up. Lights are on 7 hours. Did I kill it or is this normal?

    Tissue culture plants are grown out of water so they melt some once theyre submerged. As long as the roots are still anchored it should come back.

    Keep the CO2 steady and dont keep moving it around. I lost about half of mine to melt and a month later the carpet had filled in.

    Its bouncing back. New green leaves spreading along the front. Patience I guess.
