Anyone here grow this plant with hard water? If so have you ever experianced what appeared to be a calcium deficiency? I'm trying to solve this problem as I've had this plant for months and it has had what seemed to be a Ca deficiency. I have been adding 1/8tsp CaSO4 once a week with no results. I also have been adding 1 tsp MgSO4.
I have looked on other boards such as APC, Plantgeek, etc and found others with the same problem. I've read so many posts by Tom Barr and others that my eyes are gonna bleed. Some report that dosing Ca helped their situation but so far it hasn't done much for me (maybe I'm not dosing enough Ca?). The other day I increased the dose to 1/4tsp and thought there was slightly less curling of the leaves but by the end of the day the plant look as bad as ever. Just curious if anyone here has had this problem with this or any other plant and how did you solve it?
