Let me know when you decide which one it is

whattttt that was a huge oopsie on my part, my bad!
one of my biggest worry is when someone is making their own micros and make any kind of small error because we are talking about some numbers in ppb. I hope this is not the case here, am not saying you don't know what you are doing. can you post some recent pictures of your plants?I know it takes a lil while to show improvement, but the turnover of new leaves from the H. tripartita is pretty rapid and I am kinda trying to save my Tonina from dying. Its hard for me to reacquire this plant.
The details are already here, just a few pages back
Happi there are pictures in the post on the same page as your post 😅😅 You would only have had to scroll up a bitone of my biggest worry is when someone is making their own micros and make any kind of small error because we are talking about some numbers in ppb.

Picture was after a week of 0.3 Fe DTPA. This week will be 0.5, too early to see results as I started today.currently you are dosing 0.5 Fe DTPA weekly ?
have you thought about just trying 0.1 ppm Fe target weekly?? Iron deficiency with 0.5 ppm Fe weekly is just not possible at this point. do a big water change and see if you notice any changes before adding more FePicture was after a week of 0.3 Fe DTPA.

This post was after a week at 0.1. Maybe it needed more time?have you thought about just trying 0.1 ppm Fe target weekly??
I agree it doesnt add up at allIron deficiency with 0.5 ppm Fe weekly is just not possible at this point.
I just wouldn't make up my own micro-nutrient mix, unless there was a very good reason. I agree with @Happi, it is really easy to get lost in the <"powers of ten">. <"Microelement mixes"> developed for <"commercial hydroponic horticulture"> will work. The same for <"complete "all in one" mixes">, with the proviso that you need to look at the <"ammonium (NH4) content">.one of my biggest worry is when someone is making their own micros and make any kind of small error because we are talking about some numbers in ppb.
Ahh, that looks to be the one! Complete with brown fronds, I thought maybe it just had a case of the bluesI believe the fern in the picture not named in your post is Didymochlaena truncata.
Yeah about the list I think youre right to say conditions apply. I know pretty much dang diddly squat about houseplants but I know a Peace Lily will tolerate very different conditions than say, a fern.That list is really useful, thanks for sharing. I think some of the plants listed can be grown hydroponically but depending on the type of system used. Aloes were the one that jumped out at me. They wouldn't do well sat in water but using a spray system would work perfectly.
