Plants will do just fine.

My water is harder and a little more alkaline
and I have no problems with plants (although
it has been survival of the fittest).

I am continuously pumping CO2 for the past 3 days and I am able to
reduce the above pH to 7.4. My KH is very high (17dh) and I think its
not allowing pH to go down.

My Fishes Neon, H. Rasboro and angels are doing fine. My water
wisteria, ambulia are growing very slow. Only amazon is growing very
fast.

Any help in this regard please..

Thanks and Regards
Dominic

Forgot to add:

Tank 200lit ~50US Gal
Light 132 Watts

As per Aqua Pharm NO3 test kit I have 40ppm NO3 in my tank so I do NOT
dose KNO3. My well water has 10ppm of NO3. I am adding 1/4 tea spoon
ECO Enterprise Fish Trace (one of PMDD) every other day. As per Hagen
Phosphate test kit my Tank water has 2ppm PO4.
