ThatguyNO1knowsYET Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I have had this Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus for about 2 months now. The leaves have all been coming in yellow and very thin and in some cases very warped. I have root tabs from Seachem in the substrate and I have been using easy green once a week. They grow like weeds but don't respond well to trimming and have this color/size issue with the leaves. Is there anything I can try to help my plants?

Mmiller2001 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I would try a 5ppm increase in K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TioTeo Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I am by no means an expert, but I was just learning about nutrient deficiencies this week.
