Adding it once a month is inadequate, because as the plant grows it must have a ready supply. Most nutrients can be taken from old growth and moved to new, but calcium isn't one of those.

Because they plants have evolved to thrive on water with low dissolved solids content. If you can find the right balance of low-TDS water while providing sufficient nutrition (and that's not much) in the right proportions, many of your issues will vanish.
